Trader Joe's 2011 Vintage Dark Ale - 9.0% abv. Shocking. Not shocking like you wake up and find yourself in a horror scene from Saw V, shocking as in you guiltily purchase a White Castle burger on a craving whim and find yourself presented with a bacon-wrapped med. rare filet mignon served by a boobiferous smiling Victoria Secret model. For $4.99 at 750mL, would you expect a carefully crafted Belgium style dark ale by Unibroue? Either would I. This is no three buck Chuck. OK, It's a little rough around the edges and spicy compared to an artisan Belgium, but still a tremendous value for the flavor. I'm off to purchase a case.
