Checking this in just cuz of the rarity of the beer. Says that it’s served only at the brewery, that’s a lie cuz we are cool enough at hopcat to get it in.

PTyler: Mitchs B. In my opinion nothing to be jealous about, tastes like you took stale water and smoked it

Probably the smokiest beer I have ever had, but it is still not overwhelming. Plenty of malt and sweetness without being cloying
