Hangtown Brewery, Placerville, California.

Jet black color, light tan head, rich vanilla nose. Wonderful roasty palate and burnt-sugar flavors are accentuated sublimely by the vanilla right into the roasty-bitter finish. No sweetness here, just an incredible interaction of flavors that keeps you coming back for more, which could be dangerous considering the beer's 7.2% alcohol by volume. Label says this beer won 1st place in the California State Fair Commercial Craft Brewery Competition. It's easy to see why.

Another winner brought to yours truly by Beer Across America's Big 22 club.

And remember, try a new beer today, and drink outside the box.
