Abita Turbodog

Brewed by Abita Brewing Company
Style: Brown Ale
Covington, Louisiana USA

Pours dark brown to black. Light roasty nose of coffee and chocolate. Very light though. Taste has similar elements that are more pronounced. This is probably the best Abita beer that I’ve had so far. Unfortunately that’s not saying much.

waitress suggested as an alternative to Shiner Bock; not bad; nothing great good aroma, ok palate/mouthfeel very bland/nothing on the back end. meh - like someone above said might be a good dark session beer

(12 ounce bottle - pint glass) Pours a brown color with large head that dissapates fast. Leaves a streaky lace. Aroma is a toast, roasty and nuts. Tastes of a sweet bitterness kind of like a chocolate covered coffee bean. Also has notes of toffee and caramel. Full body, oily texture and flat carbonation.

Bottle. Pours black with a big frothy brownish head. Flavor is toffee, coffee, chocolate toasted malts. Very watery though. Would probably make for a good session beer if you want to drink a ton of something dark.

Talk about a frothy head! This beer really is a looker, with a healthy, billowy cream colored head stop a deep dark brown body translucent at the edges. The froth actually stays in tact as it sticks to the side of the glass. Bitter malt aroma, light-bodied, lightly hopped, and lighly malted. Notice most of this review is of the appearance... There’s a reason for that. Not much else to say about the beer itself. In my opinion, doesn’t hold up to it’s name. I think that’s what threw me off.

Pours dark reddish brown. Aroma is nutty malt with some some sour sugar. Dry, fruit forward malt taste. Very dry finish

A feeble attempt at a stout. the taste is just way to weak. You take a sip and the taste only lasts for about two seconds before fading into an awful, bitter aftertaste.

nutty, black, chocolate, hazelnut, moderate head and lacing; nothing to write home about; neighbor handed me one at their Mardis Gras party - I had to ask for a glass
