The name is indeed striking, but the actual label is gorgeous, reminiscent of the wonderful work of William Hogarth, or George Cruikshank or Thomas Rowlandson and their ilk.
What is the beer like?
Does it live up to the promise of name and label?

I know — the art is beautiful!
It's a very nice English style dark ale. I really enjoyed it and even bought some at a gas station. Now I need to try to find it where I live 😀

That sounds delicious; I must say that I am rather partial to that English dark ale style.

Me too! I wouldn't say it's my go-to, but I sure do love them. Honestly I love all types of beer, except for IPA — too hoppy and bitter for my taste.

Likewise.
Agreed that IPA is something of an acquired taste, one I have yet to acquire fully - your description is absolutely accurate; indeed, it is a beverage I only ever (and occasionally, at that) sip, sample and savour in summer.
Usually only when I want something reasonably light, and nothing better is available.

Yes, that says it — when nothing better is available))) I remember years ago my former boss decided to throw a beer party. And ordered 6 or 7 types... of IPA! FML)

Out to lunch with my wife and mother-in-law at Cooper's Hawk and had a Cooper's Hawk Ale. Went down quite well with my lunch. Of course, there were several glasses of wine consumed as well, but I failed to snap a pic

Looks absolutely lovely (I will wager that it was quite delicious) and the (matching) glass is just gorgeous.

Some more Montana fun with Huckleberry Hefeweizen.

Love that, didn't think I would, grapefruit just seemed a bit odd but it works so well.
For me it’s a close 2nd to Brewdog’s Hazy Jane Guava. That Jane G is absolutely beautiful. Goes down far, far too easily.

Got some babybacks on the smoke, so I got to enjoy a DIPA while out here. This one hits really nice

I'm not American, hence, I require some assistance understanding the first half of your sentence; "smokes", I can only assume, is a barbeque, (correct me if I am wrong), but what on earth are "baby backs"?
Meanwhile, enjoy your beer.

That brings back memories.Perhaps the most drunk beer in Belgium…..
Do enjoy.
Belgium is beer heaven, even their basic beers are brilliant.
