What are Lubricants for $300, Alex?

That last one is a social lubricant.  But then again, so is the third one.

Clown Shoes Lubricant is a very dark American Black Ale, slightly thick with a thick khaki head.  It’s not as thick as last month’s Old Engine Oil.  But like that beer, it’s flavor changes as it warms up.  So the first sips were actually not that great.  As it warmed up a little, I could appreciate a more complex taste.

Tastes of chocolate, roasted malt, maybe a little molasses.  For me, this is more of a sipping beer, not a session beer.

  1. For some reason a line from an old horror film comes directly to mind "clown knows!!!!". No clue what the film was but it had some evil clown doll.
    Obviously, I need some social lubrication or psychiatric help.
