Magic Hat‘s back! (Ever read the flip-side of the bottle caps? Good stuff. I recommend it.) This time around we’re into fall with the Night of the Living Dead sampler pack with our new rep, Tim Herrall.

#9
“A beer cloaked in secrecy. An ale whose mysterious and unusual palate will swirl across your tongue and ask more questions than it answers. A sort of dry, crisp, refreshing, not-quite pale ale. #9 is really impossible to describe because there’s never been anything else quite like it.” [4.7% abv]

Circus Boy
“Unfiltered and unfettered, Circus Boy is a unique and refreshing American-style Hefeweizen. Is he a who? Or a what? Or perhaps some of both?” [4.2% abv]

Roxy Rolles
“As the leaves line the trees with colors bright, the Autumnal Amber Ramble comes into sight! Roxy Rolles pours in her wake foliage fallen and a perfect pairing of malt and hops.” [5.1% abv]

Odd Notions: Belgian Blonde [Black Stout]
“A fitting beer for The Night Of The Living Dead, this Black Stout is chock full of roasty goodness, with an amazing complexity that can only come from the addition of five different types of malts. The flavors of dark crystallized malts and roasted barley warm the pallet and the distinct spicy phenolic character and inviting esters, derived from the Belgian yeast strain finish the beer, complementing this very special brew.” [6.2% abv]
