Avery Brewing Company Samael's Ale

Samael, about as evil a name as one can get. Its a name that has an equal standing with the of the Dark Lord himself.

To say Samael has not made his impact in the world would be like saying Satan is the local ice cream driver, meaning, grossly underestimating his stance in myth and reputation.

In the world of Metal, we have a well known band that is named after the evil deity, a character in a very Metal Video Game who shares a similar stance, and plenty of parakeets/cats/dogs/turtles/insert random domesticated animal for humor purposes here/etc. with the aforementioned designation of the Archangel of Death.

Today, we look at one of many things that bears the name of Grim Reapers cousin/brother/some related position/etc.

Introducing Avery Brewing Company Samael's Ale.

The questions proposed here, where does this beverage hail from? Germany, nope. Belgium, nope. Belarus, nope. Of all the places this wicked beverage was forged would in, it was in Boulder, Colorado. Not the most likely of places for something this vile.

Here we have a warning label that gives the reader the impression that Samael is a death dealer, and you know what, it is correct in that assessment. As the saying goes, you have been warned.

Behold, the photo op of death.

Inside the well of vengeance.

And any photo op that requires extras will have to embrace such evilness. Introducing the hand of disposable liquified mortis, aka my hand pouring the beer inside the official Channel 13 Chalice.

The beer tastes is a very thick, dark, sweet, liquified molasses. I know it's a weird description, but its the best one to give you, the reader, an idea what it tastes like. As for its official designation, it is a Oak-Aged Ale flavored with Oak Chips. The only thing missing here is a oak colored table to complete this wooden ensemble.

At 16.45% alcohol by volume, this is one bottle you can not mess with. In essence, this is Samaels way of saying he has you by the gonads and won't let go until you turn to a Party City Halloween decoration.

As for final impressions, definitely recommended for those of us looking for an evil brew, and I don't mean the possessed by horned spirit either.
