Okay... It's time for a little bit of slumming. :D
I picked this Lithuanian beer up because the label is just so kick ass and on a dare from my brother (after we looked up the ratings online while in store)!
:lolhit:
As you can see on RateBeer,
Rinkuškiai Dragon Lady Doppelbock, gets an
8 on there. That's not 8 out of 10. That's 8 out of 100. :lool:

Seriously, how can you not buy this! Looks like it belongs on the side of a 1973 Dodge van!

Poured into a Shaker glass because who gives a shit with an 8/100 beer and it's what I had handy. Don't think it really matters. It was a clear, dark brown with a moderate off-white head. The nose on this is pretty weak but I do manage to get some sweet malt. Very overly sweet and malty taste. An odd bitterness to it and an unusual, persistent metallic after taste. This is like the mutant cousin to 3 Floyds Robert the Bruce. Body is a bit syrupy. It's a malt bomb but completely unrefined. It is not undrinkable however. It weighs in at 9.7% ABV, the alcohol is amazingly unnoticeable. At less than $3 per 740ml, it does do well at getting you good and buzzed on the cheap!
Hell, give this one a try if you have it where you are because YOLO! :lool: It's still better than most every American macro.
Jungle Jim's did have other Rinkuškiai brews. I just
might have to go back and grab some others.
