Dude said:No. I always see it and I'm tempted to buy it, but I can't pull the trigger for some reason.
I COMPLETELY understand. I was the same way. I thought the packaging was, how should I say... "trying to hard" to sell itself. Plus, it was always sitting there with Purple Haze, which wasn't appealing to me. I didn't even know it was a dark beer, to be honest.
However, my SIL's boyfriend bought a sampler pack of Abita's brews for the final game of the World Cup and when he came from the kitchen with a glass of black goodness, I was curious.
I tasted it first and then asked which it was and he told me. Now, I'm feeling like a tool for having not tried it sooner.
