Gaslight Satan Claws

decent beer not as good as most holiday themed beers but its acceptable. They have much better beers there

Draft. Pours a hazy amber body with a 2 finger tan head. Sweet, spices, light fruity esters, cherry. Dry with hints of spices, and alcohol latent fruit. Not bad.

20061209 Tap at brewpub. Aroma of skim milk with some carton notes in the flavor. I was sitting only inches from Paul who apparently likes skim milk. i do not. Thin and hot - terrible. I have no idea why my notes are so far off from the others, but they are what they are. Whew, visiting Gaslight was an adventure.

So I had this recently, late 2007. I was told it was a Blegian Sour and got what I was told. It was actually a bit flemish and had a nice sour funk. Now if I knew tha was an accident I may not have liked it as much. Accident or not it wasn’t that bad. Some nice cherry flavor but overall not much to say abou tthe beer or complexity.

2.8.07 At the BP with AdamSkillin. 8.0% ABV. Definite alcohol FLAVA. Possibly more bittering hops necessary. Pleasant malt flavor.

on tap-pours a dissipating light tan head with amber color. Aroma is faint malt. Taste is dry, malty.

This years version is 8.7% I think. Pours a very nice clear dark amber with ruby highlihgts and thin lasting head. The aroma is fruity with nice english yeasty esters, along with nutty and caramel malts and lightly spicy. Flavor has just a touch of alcohol, as the body is a bit thin, but has a nice complex flavor profile. Light chocolate, more caramel, some apple and raisin/plum. Nice smooth finish. One of my favorites of the gaslight brews.

Tap at the brewpub. Brown with a tan head, and clear. Woody aroma, with a certain malty and fruity character. Very malty flavor and palate. Slightly roasty. Subtle sourness possible? Hard to detect but may be in the background. Big and full bodied. Alcohol not noticeable at all.
