3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Ett julöl från Louisiana är ju kul. Gissningsvis har de andra jultraditioner där. En finstämd och nyanserad brown ale där doften lovar söt sirapslimpa och nykokt kola. Smaken är mindre söt, ja närmast torr för genren, brödig, lätt munkänsla, varsamt humlad med lätt efterbeska. En bra, lätt brown ale som funkar riktigt bra till julmaten.

12 oz bottle, 2011. Pours dark red brown with big fluffy beige head. The aroma is herbal hops with some caramel notes and iced tea. The flavor is much the same, some caramel and toast, some herbal hops, some tea-like tannic notes. Easy drinking, but not particularly complex.

Malty aroma, looks good in the glass -- tastes like someone mixed a Belgian Strong and an IPA. Lacks character, just OK.

A great session beer. This was actually one of the first beers I ever drank in 2007. I had it at a restaurant in Louisiana and had to wait until 2010 to find it again in Kansas. Medium body, not particularly spicy, but a good dose of sweet and bready malts. (10/10/2007)

Aroma of pine, citrus zest, and candied fruits. Flavors of caramel, pine, citrus, and ginger root. Green tea and ginger finish. A splash of weirdness in the spices thats hard to pinpoint. I like sugared ginger chews so this works for me. Still, a goofy beer that somehow manages to be endearing and festive.
