On tap at the flying saucer in KC. Pours a dark brown, ebony color. Two-fingerwidth, creamy, light tan head that remains moderately lacy. Aroma of lightly toasted caramel malts and some toffee. Some chocolate sweetness and a bit of a hop backing. Some berry fruit in there too. Light bodied and slightly watery feel. Taste is a little watered down too. Sweet almond nuttiness with that slightly burnt caramel malt taste. Slightly bitter with a mix of the berries. Finishes drier with a little bit of a lingering aftertaste. Overall, I give it credit because its actually a decent tasting brown ale, but not up to par with the best of them.

Dark dark brown that looks black, except through the light looks ruby. Two tan fingers of nicely lacing head. Dark creamy malt aroma, nuts and chocolate. Taste is pretty roasty malt for a brown, some caramel and chocolate.

Malt forward aroma with some off-putting aromas, like spilled stale beer. Dark and thick with a thick dense creamy sandy head. Thinner than expected with some almond and caramel in the malt, but metallic notes too. Meh.

I do love me some Turbodog, and I have for quite a few years. Only just now getting around to reviewing it. <br /><br /> And, only recently have I discovered a secret: drink it close to room &#40;or at least cellar&#41; temperature &#045;&#045; it comes alive&#033; <br /><br /> Bottle, poured into an oversize wine goblet. <br /><br /> Appearance: Dark, brooding, yet inviting. Crassly put, like Coca-Cola. More elegantly, like a russet madeira. <br /><br /> Aroma: Those dry hops are nice&#033; On the nose, a lot of resin, molasses, pipe tobacco, leather, and wet grass. Shades of a weak barleywine, almost. <br /><br /> Taste: Not as poweful as the nose, but not too far behind. Toasty malt, chocolate, coffee notes, molasses, and an American hop finish. <br /><br /> Palate: A bit of a fizzy zing, but quite a bit of oil as well. <br /><br /> Overall: If they were to ever make a souped-up version of this ale and call it an Old Ale or a Barleywine, I’d be over the moon. Turbodog is great, though. Surprisingly easy-drinking for its heaviness and its strength. Dynamite with a range of foods, too, everything from oven-roasted eggplant to white chocolate challah bread pudding.
