BlackStack Who Put You On? DIPA For Otis

 BlackStack Who Put You On? DIPA For Otis.

8.3% ABV. BlackStack Brewing, St. Paul, Minnesota.

Clouded, golden, long lasting ivory head, leaving lace.

In the nose: citrus-y and floral.

In the mouth: brief bitterness blazes the palate. Mostly soft and juicy. Very soft. Like chewing on a pool toy stuffed with feathers. Little bit of lemon with a swirl of grapefruit. Light in body, blah, blah, blah. Here comes the booze...

I drink these when they’re free, I can’t pay the $18-20+ per 4-pack you’ve got to drop for them. I’ll just go back to Sticker Fight ...or Ninja vs. Unicorn, that’s a good one, too.

One of our dearest friends of many years and former coworker recently passed. Otis loved many things, including, but not limited to: his family, his friends, his French heritage, his dog Bootsy, First Avenue & Paris Saint-Germain. But few things gave him more joy or satisfaction than taking credit for having been the first one to have shown you any musical artist, song, film, book, tv show, comedian, ramen shop, cocktail bar, vintage store or place to buy Jordans... regardless of whether this was factual or not. Overly exuberant additions of our hand selected Mosaic, Mosaic Cryo, Experimental HBC 630 & Strata. Rest easy borther, we're gonna miss you dearly.
