A vile concoction that is technically considered a malt liquor, although it would be more well suited to be categorized somewhere between turpentine and
diesel fuel. Produced by Minhas Brewery in
Monroe,
Wisconsin, it is available mostly in 24 oz. cans with distribution limited to the midwest. It is most famous for its crippling 11%
alcohol and generous price ($1.
19 per 24oz can).
The satanic colors that adorn the can let you know that you are about to enter through the gates of hell, and that an eternal torture will ensue, the kind that lucifer himself would
cringe at. The crack of the
tab precedes the smell of aerosol and unleaded gasoline instantly permeating the room. The first
sip tastes of rat feces, razor blades and toenails, with a finish of cyanide. It is now that the theories behind the name "Axe Head" become apparent:
Theory #1: The effects of drinking one tall boy are similar to huffing an entire can of Axe body spray.
Theory #
2: The effects of drinking one tall boy are similar to being struck in the head by the business end of an axe.
Regardless of which theory is accepted, one thing is certain: When you stop drinking steel reserve and start drinking axe head, you have reached complete rock bottom.
