Lagunitas The Hairy Eyeball Ale

12 oz bottle. Pours brown/amber color with an off white head. Marginal lacing. Aroma is sweet caramel and molasses. Palate leans to the heavy side with average carbonation. Flavor is molasses, caramel and dark fruit. Very sweet beer. I thought it would have been listed as a Scotch Ale.

pours deep amber hue with beige head, it has pthe aroma of plums blended with caramel. it is very fruity and sweet.

This strong ale was a brown ale I thought, guess I was wrong. It was not to spectacular, which is surprising since me so hungry for strong ales. Another beer tried at beerfest.

Bottle: Bought in San Diego brought to El Salvador. Full bodied heavy potent beer, complex profile, dark berries, herbal, wood, caramel, warms you up quickly.

Re-rate: tried again and liked it even better! Lacing was much more complete, possibly since I was indoors instead of outdoors. Taste is complex but not sour or very bitter. On tap. Darkish. Clean, mildly sweet, inviting aroma. Taste follows nicely. Some lacing, head dissipates very quickly, but I don’t care much about that. A nice, just hoppy enough finish. Good one.

Decent, but a little sweet. Taste of sweet plums. Not much else to speak of. Some vanilla and yeast as well. A little alcohol in the finish. No where near as full bodied as I expected. Smooth, but not especially enjoyable. Weak for a strong ale.

12 oz. Pours dark brown with little to no head. aroma is figs, dark fruit, molassas taste is dark fruit rich malts somewhat like a barlywine. No hops here. finishes nice and warm.

Draught at Najas Place. Pours dark brown with a spare, fizzy, white head with spare lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (bread, caramel), average hop (flowers, citrus), heavy yeast (dough) with notes of oak and alcohol. Full bodied, creamy texture, average carbonation, and an astringent finish. Long duration, moderate sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.
