3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
(Bottle 35,5 cl) With a name like that you keep your expectations high. Of a wickedly strong and ful-flavoured beer. And the name has been notorious amongst beer-enthusiasts for ages. Well, I guess it’s mainly due to the fact, that this was one of the first successful US microbrews. Regarded by it’s effort as a beer this is rather peaceful. Dark brown, perhaps slightly copperish, neat and decent head. Soft and lightly sweet nut-character without much bitterness. A very pleasant beer outdoors on a warm night in Greenwich Village.

Clear, mohogany hue. Small, fizzy white head. Quickly diminishing. No lacing.
Not much of an aroma. Tiny notes of butterscotch. Some floral and citrusy hints in the nose as well.
Very well-balanced. What this beer lacks in actual flavor,it makes up for in balance. Some brown sugar and honey up front with a nice lightly bitter and pungent hop presence on the backside.
Medium-bodied with a slightly silky mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation.
Short, dry finish.
A good beer. Better than most major American micros.
