Draft at Floyds. Frankly, calling this a malt liquor and brewing it with corn does not put it on the same stage with a Steel Reserve, It’s much better than that. In an English pint glass, it shows a copper-amber color with a slight, clingy head. Plenty of corn an alcohol in the nose. I did find something in the taste to reming me of a Colt .45. Solid malts, and yes, plenty of fermented corn, but without cloying sweetness of alcohol fusels. True to its Floyd-ness, there lots of hops here, but just the noble bittering hops to keep the sweetness in check. A chewy body that gets sweeter after all as I go further down the glass.

Draught at 3Fs brewpub. The low ratings here reveal the style bias pervasive on this site. Make no mistake, this is an outstanding malt liquor (or bock, if you prefer), one that I enjoyed even more than my recollection of DFH’s Liquor de Malt. Not much in the way of aroma. Yellow body to moderate gold. Fizzy, white head. Not much lace and average sized head. Very strong alcohol profile, despite "only" being 7%. Some pepper on the tongue. Lots of flavor. Very good.

Super amped up malt liquor. This ain’t your store bought variety. Really sweet like candy corn I guess, but with more of a corn oil taste. Big and chewy texture. There was this stinginess carbination quality to it. Hops are there to give it some character. I’d actually drink this beer on a regular basis.

Ha! I’m thinking this is the same groovy, corn harshy malt liquor from Piece. Always more fun to order it first to kick start the round of drinking. I must admit, I liked it better covered up by the little paper bags, but the pizza here is better than the pizza there (matters what kind of pizza I’m hungry for). Big alcohol fumes, corny sweet taste. Some toastiness and dryness at the finish...ok, now I’m ready for a Dreadnaught...

Draft... DLD06... Clear, deep yellow lager with a mid-sized, creamy, white head. Malty aroma with notes of apricot and toffee. The mostly balanced, alcoholic flavor holds hints of corn and dry grain. Full-bodied and fizzy. Finishes lightly sweet and lightly bitter.
