3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 Ughsmash (5830) - Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA - NOV 10, 2011
500mL bottle, BB 11/27/08. Poured deep brown with a short, well-retained yellowy-beige head. The aroma picked up burnt ashy, smoky black patent malts joined by toast, molasses, and a hint of vanilla bean.. peppery alcohol prickled the back of the nose.. not bad, but the malt bill didn’t seem greatly interesting or complex. The flavor opened with peppery alcohol, with burnt black patent and baker’s chocolate behind.. toast, treacle, and vanilla showed up at times.. mild oxidation, dry-roasted malts, and alcohol warmth on the long finish.. tasty stuff! Medium-bodied, dry, and very roasty on the palate.. enough rolling carbonation to keep it moving.. this came together very well.
