Go ahead, drink The Beast (Grand Cru) and you too just might grow fangs, claws, and body fur because this brew is like taking a sip of super human syrup.
The Washdown:
- dark color with thick head and strong boozy smell, The Beast Grand Cru (A Belgian Strong Dark Ale from Avery Brewing Company, CO) ABV 14.9%
With huge amounts of alcohol and sweet nectar-like flavor, this beer tastes more like your childhood cough syrup rather than a drinkable beer. I don't recommend buying a six pack or even a 22oz as The Beast has too much sweetness and booze for even a 12oz beer.
More like a trick than a treat, this brew's just for your bucket list. Needless to say, I'm happy to check this one off, and never look it in its blood red syrupy eye again.
Pint Advice: Don't pick a fight with this monster.
