Commercial Description:
"This ain't your Dad's malt liquor" - Brewmaster John Maier After the death of his wife, Henry Jackson Smart was left to raise 6 young children alone. His courage, love, selflessness and dedication inspired his daughter, Sonora Smart Dodd, to organize the First Father's Day on June 19th, 1910. In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed the third Sunday in June as Fathers Day. President Nixon, in 1972, established it as a permanent day of national observance. Dad's is brewed with Harrington and Klages malts, Flaked Corn, Crystal Hops, Free Range Coastal Water, and Czech Pils Yeast. Available in the spring of 2005 in the classic 22-ounce Rogue micropiece. Measurements: 17 degrees Plato, IBU 25, Apparent Attenuation 77, Lovibond 10 degrees.

Pours out a light amber color with small white head. Big caramel aroma with hints of cider. Cidery taste that is very smooth. I am not a fan of malt liquoor, but this was nice to try and a hell of a lot better than the rotgut I used to drink when I was young.

Pours pale golden with a tall lasting head and good residual lacing. Aroma: NIL. Very full nectar (high viscosity), I almost choke to swallow. Residual effers: few and far between. A viscous malt backbone applies smothering pressure to my carotid artery. I need a plunger to get this down. At least it has an enjoyable flavor compared to others in the style. Molasses, apple and peach pulp nectar, cola gummy bear. The finish is mildly sweet. Not bad for the style.

22 oz bottle thanks to Devon for starting this day off right for me. This one is for my homies and for my malt liquor rating. My last style rating until some new styles are invented. Pours a clear orange with a small head. Nose isn’t bad when you put it in context. Just grain alcohol and malt. It wasn’t the offensive malt liquor aroma I was expecting. Similar flavors. Lightly sweet malts with that grainy alcohol. Decent for the style, but a small glass is enough for me.

Clear golden body with no head. The aroma is boring, bland, but slightly sweet, very little vegetal character, but some mild corn. The body is pretty light despite the alcohol and lack of carabonation. The flavor isn’t bad and it’s definitely the best tasting malt liquor I’ve had to date. Certainly not the most enjoyable beer, but a tasty, drinkable ML and in a 22 oz bottle to boot!

Clear gold, insignificant white head. Rich malt aroma, a bit sweet with some grains, subtle crisp hops, and a light herbal/floral thing going on. Same flavors with some nice, warming alcohol. A touch of anise in the finish. Medium, balanced body. Great malt liquor. Don’t know the formula to figure the abv, but I’d put it around 8 to 8.5%. Nice brew to have with a burger, dog, or some ribs. Spicy pizza, also.

Growler from Half-Time. Pours a very hazy golden amber without much of a head, so it already at least has a bit more going for it than the malt liquors I vaguely recall from my halcyon college days. Very sweet aromas, malt and corn mostly with a little bit of cardboard and alcohol. Remarkably sweet, reminding me of a fruit lambic, but without any of the lovely funk or tart acid that one would expect. Still not an unpleasant flavor. But way too sweet. Finishes with a little lemony acid, and still on the sweet side. A whole lot better than I had thought it would be.

22 oz. bottle - pours clear and gold; malt and slight fruity aromas; tastes sweet and very basic for a rogue brew
