The Perfect Disguise

8% alcohol. 70 IBU. Introduced in 2019. Brewed, in Delaware, by Dogfish Head Brewing.

"On the surface, The Perfect Disguise looks like a straightforward Kölsch with a crisp Kölsch yeast and traditional German malts and hops … but things aren’t always what they seem. With a quick sniff and a slight sip, you’re greeted by a creamy mouthfeel and full body thanks to the addition of a unique German chit malt - the first hint that this beer may be somewhat different.
Hiding deeper behind that German disguise is the double dry-hopping of an American Double IPA, with nearly 4 lbs. of German and American hops per barrel. It brings tropical flavors of citrus, tangerine, mango, gooseberries and peach."

Bacardi Reserva Ocho

40% alcohol. Introduced, privately, in 1862. Now, sold to the public. Product of Puerto Rico.

"Created in 1862, BACARDÍ Reserva Ocho rum is one of the oldest private rum blends in the world. For seven generations, the BACARDÍ family enjoyed it as their personal reserve. Happily, today everyone can enjoy this golden sipping rum and create special moments together. It takes eight years for a batch of BACARDÍ Reserva Ocho to mature. But patience is rewarded by its distinctive, refined flavor with notes of prune, apricot, nutmeg and vanilla."
