ABV:  9.0%

For a long time now I have considered Bitches Brew one of my favorite beers ever. Its dark rich maltiness has a cappuccino-like bitterness that reminds me of both dark chocolate and toffee. Heavy-bodied goodness, I pair this gem with a band called Starfucker and their song “Rawnald Gregory Erickson The Second.”  Think of this: windows down, hand out in the breeze, gazing at the changing aspens in the mountains on a sunny day off; this is a beer that pairs well with the feeling that it’s fall now, so camping is out of the question but a heavy autumn brew might satisfy.

Pair this with an experience that’ll make you question the (in)sanity of a 9-5. Think complex and dark; lively and bold. To me this is a celebration beer. I celebrate the change of the seasons and the gifts that follow. Every season has its particular moments that epitomize its givings and I now have found my Fall.
