UPDATED: OCT 21, 2011 Poured from a bottle into a ??? glass at Bud’s Louisiana Café in San Diego (Kearny Mesa). Dark brown color. About an inch of head. Fairly light lacing, hardly any film on the sides.
Roasty malts led the sniff. Smelled like a dark amber, almost nutty. I had some cough syrup smell in there as well.
Tastes were caramel, amber and slight chocolate.
Medium body. Moderate carbonation. A fairly clean aftertaste.
A pretty good beer overall, but not as good as the other kind I had (Abita Turbodog).

12oz bottle from Pick’s poured into a shaker. Pours a dark nut brown with a minimal amount of off-white head. Aroma is lightly malty. Not much here as far as aroma goes. Taste is lightly sweet and lightly bitter. Has a slight sweet caramel taste. Light bodied with a thin texture. Fizzy carbonation and not much of a finish. Overall, its not very good. I’m glad I only bought a single bottle so I don’t have to drink any more.
