 Lumpy (1802), Carrollton, Texas, USA
Apr 28, 2007 Dr. Pepper body with a lasting ½ inch head. Nose-wood, dried cherries, lightly bready. Taste-bitter, grape, sawdust, light husk, flat cola, medium bitter on the back end, acorns, pecan, nutty, very little alcohol, high prickly CO2. Lots of nutshell, cola, not overly sweet, sticky, or biter. Nice very solid. Lingering bitterness costs it palate points.

Apr 25, 2007 Dark brown color. Smells of light toaste cocoa and tobacco, a little grainy in the nose as well. Thin and a bit fizzy on the tongue, a little light cream flavor in with some bark and some old grains. This one is certainly forgettable.

Apr 22, 2007 Bottle: Plentiful and thick head. A nice bock aroma, with hints of tobacco bitterness, lots of malty sweetness, some sweet chocolate and a touch of tartness too. In the mouth, this beer just seems bad. Starts out mildly chalky, with way too much tartness for the style and not enough malt. The tobacco qualities barely squeak out in the finish, but over all this beer was too tart and crisp. A sweet chocolate flavor does develop as the beer continues to warm, but does not every seem to overpower the tartness. Not a very good offering from Anchor...

Apr 21, 2007 This is a dark beer that almost glows red when held against the light. Small foamy beige head. The sweet malty nose seemed like grains in Coke. Malty beer with some dark bread, roast grains, burnt toast, and a hint of root beer sweetness. Some pit fruit in the background. The hops toward the end of the sip are very green, with pine and grass dominating the finish. The alcohol tastes more than 5.5%. Nice dark bock.

Apr 20, 2007 Very dark brown, with a tan head. Odd aroma--quite bitter, some metallic overtones, and carob. Flavor’s much nicer--fairly sweet, with some melanoid notes, raspberries, a dry nutty bitterness.
