Commercial Description:
An aborted batch of their Old Gnarleywine ended up tasting nearly as good as that they were hoping for, so they bottled it. God bless capitalism. OG 1.100 IBU 51.1

TAP: copper pour, moderate head. Floral hop nose, taste is thinnish, hop, and caramel. Would have thought it an IPA/DIPA. Decent brew.

Pours with no head, smells of citrus and hops. Nice amber color. Taste of hops bitter then citrus that works into a sweet smoothness that lingers with a soft bitter finish. Suprise winner.

This one really impressed me. I took a smell of it and expected a bitter earthy taste, like an IPA, but was blown away by the complexity of it. It’s bitter and hoppy like an IPA, but smooth at the same time. Pours a light brownish color, with no foam. Aroma is fruity and hoppy.

Tap at Mac’s Industrial. Dark golden brown with a decent head. Sweet, molasses aroma with slight hint of hops. Sweet, hoppy flavor with a sweet, chewy mouthfeel and a bit of citrus in the palate. This beer goes down way too smoothly.

Nice dark copper color. Interesting flavors with some sweetness and a touch of bitterness to the finish. An interesting brown ale.

RnH: had this right after Gnarley (not sure what I was thinking)... inferior brew in comparison. Pours a dark mahogany leaving some great lacing... nose is very floral and fruity. Subdued esters with hidden heat... there are some hops in there as well. The beer has an easy palate making sessionable and dangerous!

Pours a shade lighter than copper and exudes a glorious head! Nice aroma; detected sweet grapefruits, citrus notes but more than anything, the hop aroma prevails. There is a real nice sweetness to this brew! The hop balance rocks and I can only wait to drink more offerings from this superb brewery!
