Pike Tandem Double Ale

Brewed by Pike Pub & Brewery
Style: American Strong Ale
Seattle, Washington USA

Serve in Snifter, Trappist glass

22oz bottle in a Trappist glass. Pours deep brown with a thick, lacy, beige head. Aroma of spicy yeast, some caramel and light chocolate malts, and some floral hops. Flavor the same, pretty sweet. Average texture. Not a bad beer.

The smell on this one reminds me of wet clothes. You know the smell after they have been sitting for awhile. Maybe if this was paired with food I could enjoy it, but just out of the bottle I am not really a fan. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Amazing smell, probably as good as an aroma can get. Overall not as good as a my nose judged this "cover".

1/15/12. 22oz bomber. Cloudy brown pour with a small tan head that fades. Rich aroma of caramel, nuts, butterscotch, and seltzer. Slightly tart and slightly salty flavor that shows caramel, butterscotch, nuttiness, and a bit of ash. Interesting.

Poured a hazy dark brown almost black with a thin creamy head. Aroma was hops and heavy soy sauce. Taste was about the same with fish added in. I don’t know if this was a bad bottle but I couldn’t make it through a glass.

Lightly hazy brown color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of roast, caramel malts, some vanilla, raisins, and burnt toast. Taste of maple syrup, brown sugar, caramel, light toasted notes, and a semi-sweet finish

Dark reddish brown, receding mocha head. Grassy, malty sweet aroma. Grassy hoppy taste up front, extremely well balanced with a dark, roasty sweet caramel malt backbone. Some dried fruit and spice. Softly carbed, clean bitter sweet finish. This might be too much for the average lagerboy. LBW (Lagerboys Be Wary)
