Brewery: Oliver Brewing Co.
Style: Double IPA
ABV: 9%
Beer God’s Notes
Original Tasting Notes: Resinous and piney, but balanced. I wish I lived closer. These guys make some awesome beer
This beer makes me miss visiting the DC/Baltimore area. I cannot get Oliver around here and I need more of them in my life. I picked a 4-pack of this up on my trip and I’ve enjoyed every single last one of them. As I said in my original tasting notes, resinous and piney but incredibly balanced. This beer is a nice take on a Double IPA. The memory of Vae Victis will remain with me for a while.
If you don’t like the beer you can definitely appreciate the artwork — which is easily one of the most badass and awesome labels I’ve ever seen.
