Label Reads: " In a moment of creative chaos, our brewers at Boulder Beer Company decided to take our hopalicious MoJo India Pale Ale to the next level. The Result - MoJo Risin' Double IPA, a souped-up, extreme version of the one and only MoJo IPA. We added more than half a ton of extra malt and twice the amount of Amarillo hops, so be prepared for a full sensory explosion. The double dry-hop addition elevates the grapefruit-like aroma and flavor to an outrageous intensity, while the added malt raises the alcohol level to 10% by volume. And if you say you never loved it, we'll know you are a liar! This limited edition, single batch brew of MoJo Risin' Double IPA is the 6th Release in our Looking Glass Series of specialty beers.

Handwritten notes: Ow, that hurt. Right in the mouth. The high ABV leaves a sweet skid mark down your throat. But I feel like that distracts from what should be a persistent and overpowering bitterness. No, you know what? It's just right. A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down but I'm a full grown man who has never been molested by a chimney sweep. Sorry, Dick Van Dyke, if that is your real name. What was it I was trying to say? Ah yeah, how come most of the top rated beers are high ABV (be it Beer Advocate, or elsewhere)? Because the medium is the message and you can't review it without drinking it, and you can't drink it without a fuzzy happiness descending upon you. Whoo.
