Cask at the J. Clyde. Pours a cloudy amber with a sudsy off-white head reminiscent of dish soap (my only knock on this beer). Aroma and flavor are chock full of citrus oil, a bit of earthy pine, some caramel and toffee. The cask smooths out the hoppiness, but this is still quite bitter, right down to the last sip. Cask adds some creaminess to the otherwise pretty oily mouthfeel. Very drinkable, despite the alcohol. ABV for the regular Snake Handler is 9.3% -- I suspect this is similar or a bit less. IBUs for the regular version is 103 -- I’d believe that for this one. This is a special release to raise money for storm relief in Alabama; great cause, very tasty beer. Glad I got a pint of it.
