3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Amber. Has a woody, smokey, balanced nose. Very tasty, light hoppy character of the Tocobaga, but with a big woody finish.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft… CCB’s Hunahpu’s Day 2012… Murky caramel ale with a small, fragile, white head. Decent retention. The aroma is hop-forward with earthy, citrus notes that lay nicely upon undercurrents of caramel, toffee and woody, spicy cedar. Full-bodied with a milky mouthfeel and modest carbonation. The flavor provides nice hop bitterness balanced carefully by medium-roast malts and a peppery, woody cedar component. Crisp, lightly bitter, cedary finish.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Amber pour, light head. Aroma is spicy, hoppy, some cedary notes. Flavor has the cedar and big red ale notes. Not bad, but not amazing.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On draft at Cigar City for Hunahpu Day. Pours a nice orange amber with a white head. Nose is caramel, malt, along with pine hops and cedar merging and melding like Spock and Kirk in a Vulcan Mind Meld. Flavor is similar- I enjoyed the way the biting hops and the cedar melded. Interesting beer, with a light to medium body and lingering woody bitterness.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On draft at Funky Buddha. South FL Beer Week! Alright, the truth. Blind folded I probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between this and the regular Tocobaga, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy it. Good hop presence in the aroma and flavor. Well balanced and easy to drink.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask @ CCB. Pours a cloudy muddy brown/red. Nose is huge cedar and caramel. Flavor is big fresh wood, piney flavors, bitter. Pretty damn nice.
