Chudwick (1144) - Cincyucky, Kentucky, USA - MAY 3, 2013
Draft - pours amber with offwhite head and great lacing. Nose is pine. Flavor adds a caramel backbone with cheesy undertones. Wife says it smells like vomit. I disagree, a second whiff does reveal artificial pine smells like paint thinner. Hoppiness does wear off eventually. Decent to the style but nothing more.
