Description:
Ladies and Gentlemen, Shmaltz Brewing Co. is proud to introduce Bittersweet Lenny's R.I.P.A. Brewed with an obscene amount of malts and hops. Shocking flavors - far beyond contemporary community standards. We cooked up the straight dope for the growing minions of our nation's Radical Beer junkies. Judges may not be able to define "Radical Beer," but you'll damn well know it when you taste it. Bruce died, officially declared a pauper by the State of California, personally broken and financially bankrupt simply for challenging America's moral hypocrisies with words. The memorial playbill read: "Yes, we killed him. Because he picked on the wrong god." -Directed by, the Courts, the Cops, the Church... and his own self-destructive super ego. Like Noah lying naked and loaded in his tent after the apocalyptic deluge: a witness, a patron saint, a father of what was to come. Sick, Dirty, Prophetic Lenny: a scapegoat, a martyr, a supreme inspiration.

Appearance - 5.0
This sucker pours about 2 inches of off-white head that sticks around forever and coats the inside with sticky lacing. The beer is a very dark amber with lots of ruby mixed in.
Aroma - 4.0
A nice big nose made with caramel malts, citrus and pine hops, and a tiny spiciness from the rye malt.
Mouthfeel - 4.5
Nice and full in body with a nice smooth creamy feeling and a bit of bite from the massive amounts of hops. It's a tad syrupy as well.
Taste - 4.5
Caramelized malts up front followed by citrus, orange and pine. There is a good amount of spiciness throughout from the rye malt, gives it a slightly different flavor than your ordinary DIPA. A tiny hint of alcohol and a lingering bitterness. The alcohol can be felt warming the throat and traveling downwards. I'd say it's very well balanced with the hops and malts, maybe slightly bit more malt forward.
Overall - 5.0
This was an interesting brew, and one I would certainly try again. Highly recommended for any fan of big bold brews.
