8.0%: Although I was supposed to be studying for my series 7 license tonight, I just couldn't concentrate anymore, having studied all day. I also just got done eating the #1 cheese steak in central Jersey (as voted by a local newspaper) so did not exactly have an empty stomach going into this. The initial taste was not impressive, it was a kinda "thick" taste. I just noticed an image of an "8 of Hearts" playing card on the inside of the cap; I have no idea what this is supposed to mean?! It's really hard putting this 40 down right now cuz I ordered a "whole" cheese steak which was pretty much the size of 2 normal size cheese steaks (but I only ate 3/4s of it). The 40 seems to be getting worse the more I get into it, becoming very warm very quickly & with that, a little more bitter & stronger in taste. Reminds me a lot of Magnum. But of course a true swilla like myself (unlike our door-to-door knife selling buddy & one-beer-queer Travis) can handle anything. This malt (excuse me, "high gravity lager") has a kind-of reddish-brown hue to it. The swill isn't exactly worse than the beginning, but IS different... it seems to almost have a cinnamon taste to it. Ok, nevermind, the last & warmest of the swill tastes like what I imagine human urine would taste, but don't take my word for it, ask Travis for his expertise - him having sucked many penises. Slight buzz factor & fuckin' awesome label yield this bitch a 4/10 swills. Thanks out to Tiger Tai for the hook up on this piece!
6.0%: 2 nights ago I drank a few brews at some dinner/dance party, those being the first beers I had in over a one week period, due to my recent cold. So naturally I've been aching for a 40. And this has been my first one since I got sick. Therefore, it was pure bliss to drink. But in reality, it was a basic, slightly above average, malt. VERY MUCH like Colt 45! I can't think of one difference actually... except that "Colt 45" is a bigger & more classic name. Therefore I give this decent Colt-ripoff 7/10 swills. Thanks out to shizzaun for this one!

Nasty looking dog on the label, high gravity - I'm thinking hell yeah when i first saw this during an outing down in MD. Was not disapointed neither. Had the tell-tale bitterness that comes with the territory when you go high gravity, but was otherwise quite drinkable. Excellent buzz factor 8 of 10.

Much thanks to DC40s for hooking me up with this direct from B-town. According to the label, it is both a "malt liquor" as well as a "high gravity lager" even though it is only 6%. Not that specific gravity really has to have anything to do with %, it usually does. Anyway, the first few sips had me thinking this tasted alright, but by the time I got down to the label, I had realized that this was a rather odd tasting malt. Never could figure out what tasted weird about it, and don't really care. It wasn't anything special, and I couldn't keep it cold, even though it was in my freezer for two days prior to drinking it..............and the label is so bootleg lookin' it's not even funny. It's just plain bad looking. It does have a cool looking cap though, and like everyone talks about, you get a "card" on the inside of your cap so you can see who's gonna' draw low and get stuck buying the next round. I got a nine of hearts, but since no one else I was hangin' out with had another Pit Bull, I say big fucking deal. Maybe I'm jaded since all I've been doing is drinking Canadian 40s lately, but this 40 gets a 4/10 because it's nothing really special.

I kinda like this 6% 40. It is in the same family as Colt 45, and to a lesser extent, Coqui 900. Tastes pretty good, and yields a mild buzz. It also makes me want to eat pizza, which I'm now going to do. Thanks to shizzaun for telling me about Meads Liquor (ghetto ass liquor store with a fuckin' website!). And, this ONLY COST $1.50.

ok,my first pit had a crack in the cap,and it tasted like shit,so I had to try another,to see if the crack made it taste like shit ............ok,this time it was colder and the cap was in perfect shape,the card under my cap was a King of Hearts(not that that mattered).Ok first taste...reminded me of my first taste of beer ever,kinda good and kinda not,don't get me wrong this shit taste better this time,then last,but its still one mean tasting 40,i would never make this a regular 40......the only good thing was it had the same taste from crack to swill...so I originally thought it was gonna have an ass-nasty tasting swill,but it wasn't too bad,ok since its 8%,i'll give it about a 5/10 swills since its a "high gravity lager...malt liquor"

A rare 40, not available outside Baltimore, this was thrown in as a free gift by my man drunkenbird611 after numerous problems in shipping me my Colt 45 Double Malt. The Double Malt I got with this was a total disappointment. Luckily, the Pitbull did not go the same route. My first impression was that this is a totally unique malt. It tastes malty like a Wildcat. The buzz is exactly what I would like to get from all 40s. Drank the bitch while watching Fast and the Furious 2 and the movie just ended. I'm feeling quite warm and nice and got eh oven heating for a pizza. I pissed hardcore once half way and again just now. Usually 40s don't effect my piss factor too much but this killed me. This is a great 40, one of the best tasting HG's around.

Pit Bull is definately the most ghetto high gravity out there. it tastes like shit every time to keep you confused as to whether its skunked or not so you'll keep comin back looking for a fresh batch. one cool thing about it is the little poker game behind the label, you get 4 cards and it says draw your card under the cap. overall though Pit Bull yeilds a good buzz at 8% but tastes like toxic waste so I'd rate it 5 of 10 Swills (on a High Gravity curve)....

First off, thanks to DC40s for the hook up with this 40. But I shouldnt thank him too much hahaha. This 40 pretty much tasted like shit. Ive definitely had worse, but not much worse. It had a flat taste, almost like it had already been opened for a few days. Im not sure if it was skunked, or it just plain and simply sucks. The label is kind of cool, although Im confused by the Malt liquor and HG lager on the label. But either way, it was a nasty 40, and Id have to give it a 3.5 outta 10 swills.
