Heater Allen Brewing, located in not-so-scenic McMinnville (it is basically a rural ghetto), has a rather unique line of brews that rarely fail to please. I have had the pleasure of enjoying their traditional lagers in the past but this particular brew is in celebration of the Christmas season. I almost did not purchase this beer because there is a picture of a labradoodle on the label and I fucking HATE poodles. They are more aggressive than any other breed and fucking ugly as hell. Poodles should be illegal to own or breed under penalty of death. Did I mention I fucking HATE poodles? Fucking pieces of shit. In any case, this beer is totally rocking. It is a black lager that has a roasty/smokey chocolate flavor that I did not expect from the packaging. Before the glass even hit my lips I inhaled the intense aroma and it did not disappoint. If Heater Allen's marketing agents had half-a-fucking brain they would remove that dumbass piece-of-shit dog from the label and actually mention that this brew has a smokey chocolate flavor. Too bad they are mentally challenged idiots who will not sell more than three cases of this high caliber brew. What a fucking shame. 4.5 out of 5. Drink it.

Funny. You know, the exact opposite can be said for the St. Pauli Girl line. Marketing genius with the boobs (I mean lady) on the label, but not that great on the inside. Perhaps they could do a collaboration.
Despite your hatred of poodles we are glad to hear you enjoyed the Sandy Paws. The label was won at an auction benefiting the local Education Foundation. Each year we plan on having a different dog grace the label. We still have a couple of cases at the brewery . . .
Hi Heater Allen Brewing!!! Thanks for taking the time to respond to my glowing review of your beer on my crappy little website! I really can't say enough good things about your product line in general so major props for rocking the brew world here in Oregon. I am not surprised that the benefits from the label went to the local Education Foundation as Poodle kill hundreds of children per year. Good luck selling those cases!
