412. 18th Street Brewery (Hammond, IN) - Villain

“I the undersigned do hereby pledge my undying thirst to this hoppy concoction of malt, water, and yeast. By drinking this Double IPA, I agree that the contract is sealed, and Villain’s fiendish deed shall be done.”

Um. I got the description from Untappd; the 18th Street website just refers to it as a double IPA, and it tastes like most of the IPAs that 18th Street churns out—by which I mean somewhat heavy and vaguely tropical. (And I don’t mean to sound as though I am tired of 18th Street churning out the same somewhat heavy and vaguely tropical IPAs that they seems always to churn out—I love them. I just think that the 8.7% ABV is about to kick me in the nuts.) It’s kind of nice to drink when you’re mainlining Whitesnake songs that nobody should really be listening to. Prolly nice to drink while other things are taking place, too; but this is going to be a long week.
