Surly Bender

Pours brown w/ a thin off white head. Came off a little bit sweet, nicely hopped though w/ a good malty balance. Liked it a lot.

Pours an alomst porter like color and consistancy. The palate is also porter like but the flavor and aroma is coffee hop and a lot roasted roasted malt. Yummy!!!

Pours brown in color. Looks a little thin on the pour and has clear/ruby highlights around the edges. Smell is hops and roasted malt. Taste is even more of the hops. There is a good roasty quality and some coffee as well. The oatmeal really smooths this beer out. This is good, just really thin for my liking. Another solid beer from Surly, but it’s no Furious.

Pours dark brown with white head. Smells strongly of hops and roasted malts. This one is overpowered by the delicious hoppy taste. An enjoyable beer that may be too hoppy for a brown ale.

Can: The aroma consists of chocolate, caramel, light berries, and a hint of nuttiness. It’s a reddish-brown with some transparency and a small beige head. The flavor starts with caramel, berries, and chocolate. Finishes with light roasted nut notes and a hint of earthy bitterness. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
