Having this Birmingham brewery, Monday Night Brewing, at my son's house while preparing for a big trip to Texas. Just the grandson and I taking off to Houston tomorrow. Hazy orange color, citrus aroma of course, frothy head that is lasting a while. First taste has a real kick. Very hoppy, more bitterness than I prefer. Lots of citrus, mostly grapefruit, has some tropical traits, perhaps a touch of guava? I'm not a fan of hoppy, bitter IPAs, but. This isn't bad. One of the best bitter IPAs I've had. Has a little kick at 6.9%. I still like beers with a lot of flavor. The amount of citrus enables me to overlook the amount of bitterness from the hops. I'm sure that hop forward IPA lovers will adore this beer. PS: I wasn't going to buy this beer but how can you not buy something called Death Raptor? Points for smart marketing.

Heavy and dark. Has a good taste.

With family in Texas having another great beer. This one I brought from Birmingham's Monday Night Brewing. 2020 edition of their Overnight Celebrity Imperial Porter. Has a heavy dark pour, coats the inside of the glass with a foam that is suspended and unmoving. Unique! Syrup texture brings a delicious sweet Bourbon balanced perfectly with sweet maple. In the background, a hiding delicious mocha chocolate. A relaxing alcohol burn is soothing the whole experience as the finish gives a mild milk chocolate and ripe raisin. This fantastic beer only gets better with every single sip you take. Was profoundly sad when the glass became empty. Well deserving of a 5.0. Going to make every attempt to try to find another one of these bottles.
