Buy Me Grainstorm or Go to Hell!

When it comes to beer, I gravitate towards the IPAs quite a bit.  So, imagine when I laid eyes on the Boulevard Grainstorm Black Rye IPA yesterday morning.  With an ABV of 7.7%, the drinkability of the beer suggests that it should be fairly easy to drink, but with the fact that it comes in a 750 mL bottle as shown, you may wish to pace yourself.  As you can see by the color, it is black, and the smell is actually quite good.  The barley, oats, wheat, and rye are evident with each sip, and like any good IPA, has a potent taste that requires all of your patience.  Since it's a part of the Boulevard Smokestack series, you will have to pay a fairly pretty penny for it, but it is definitely one of the better beers in the series.
