J.J. Wainwrights Evil Eye Honey Brown

For a dark lager, this has some competition, shiner bock, killians and michelob amber boch; not too bad for macro brews. Wainwrights eye is peeken out from between the evil and the eye. 12 oz pop top can. Popped to release a slight sour aroma. Aroma is a little industrialized with metal hints. Pours darker than a pale yellow american beer but I don’t think this really qualifies as dark. Transparent with a couple small stream bubble originations. Now it does have a sweet hint in the smell. Head is alabaster and fades after a few minutes. Taste is not offensive but different in a Pittsburgh kind of way. Gentleman lager personality. This is definitely a good buy in the american lager arena. Price is half that of most other dark american lagers tasted. Finish is tingly on the back of my tongue. No real overwhelming or persistent linger. Not bad. On par with negra modela and lieny’s red.

From Can. Poured dark yellow. Little to no head. White, fizzed out pretty quick. Aroma was not stong, but I got some honey and malt. Flavor was the same, with caramel notes in the end. I never saw this before and it wasn’t too bad. Kind of bland. Easy to drink a ton of.

Some honey and malty odors. Tastes malty, with some hops, honey, and caramel at the end. Seems very alcoholic to me. Not great, but not bad for a BYOB strip joint.

(can) Slight hint of honey in the nose. Not much of a flavor for a dark beer. Easy to drink a lot of. The scary thing is that I didn't know they still made this stuff.

This stuff is pretty bad. Typical cheap beer....harsh, nasty aftertaste, poor aroma, and burns goin down.
