Clown Shoes Space Cake Imperial IPA - 9% ABV Pete This is a pretty good IPA. Then I realized it was 9% and was very impressed. It isn't that bitter, but the hops are definitely there. That must be why I didn't notice the booze until well after I was done.

Clown Shoes The Barista Brown Ale - 8.5% ABV Pete This tastes way more like a dark beer than I was expecting. It's more of a porter than a brown. Fortunately, I love both styles. It's rich, sweet, and delicious, and there is no way I could tell you that this is strong from tasting it.

Clown Shoes Tramp Stamp Belgian IPA - 7% ABV Pete I was really excited to try this one, since I've had a few solid Clown Shoes beers before, and I love this style. I was disappointed. I definitely tasted some hops, which was good, but there was just something off about it that I couldn't pinpoint.

Clown Shoes Undead Party Crasher Imperial Stout - 10% ABV Pete This is a super rich and chocolatey stout that has a hint of smokiness, as well as a boozy finish. Pretty good, but I could go for less of the boozy finish.

Clown Shoes Whammy Bar IPA - 6.5% ABV Pete This is a super easy to drink IPA. It has nice citrus and pine flavors, but finishes very clean without too much bitterness. It definitely hides the booze well. Also the name makes me think of guitar hero, so it's got that going for it, which is nice.

Clown Shoes YeeeHaaw New England IPA - 7% ABV Pete Smells good, and tastes even better. Tropical fruitiness dominates the flavor, as it does in most beers of this style. I only had a taster, but I wanted more.

Clown Shoes Zen Garden New England IPA - 6.75% ABV Pete A little less hazy than others of this style, though still plenty citrusy, with an addition of a nice peppery-ness that I really like. Great beer.
