If you don't have the beer "Eye of the Hawk" available in your area, you should feel sad. It's amazing and incredibly strong for what it tastes like. Drinking like... a Sierra Nevada Torpedo, you can tell what you are drinking is going to do some damage to your liver. Eye of the Hawk? Doesn't have that feeling at all, but it is similarly powerful. And I -love- me some Torpedo.
Just some information from someone who can contrast and compare.
Oh yeah, it's from the Mendocino Brewing Company, so it might be a cali thing. Hopefully not, because it is really, really good.
