Jester King Mad Meg Farmhouse Provision Ale

I swear, half the fun of drinking a beer from Austin's Jester King Brewery is the awesome label art (see Black Metal Stout).  Another, at least for their latest edition, the Mad Meg Farmhouse Provision Ale, is the stellar alcohol content, in this case, a whopping 9.5% ABV.  The name "Mad Meg" comes from Flemish folklore.  She was a peasant woman who lead an army of fellow women to pillage hell.  That's awesome.  As far as the taste goes, it's got a traditional feel of spicy hops and some humbling malts to settle the whole thing together.  But be warned, this beer tastes strong...because it is.  And it's oh so lovely.
