Yazoo Dos Perros

Brewed by Yazoo Brewing Company
Style: Altbier
Nashville, Tennessee USA

Serve in Kölsch/Altbier

Dark brown with little head. Wet earth and root aromas. Sweet up front and fades quickly. Mediocre beer.

At brewery. Russet color. Powerfully estery with prominent banana and "sweet" alcohol. Bready, brown sugar, sweetish/cidery and a startling oxidized taint; also soapy. Maize flavor evident. Thin body. Tamely hopped.

UPDATED: NOV 25, 2010 Sample at Flying Saucer in Nashville. Pours a clear dark amber color with a medium thin light beige head that diminishes to a film steadily. Patchy lacing. Malty aroma with caramel and spice notes. Medium body with a malty character that has caramel and earth flavors. Slight hops presence as well. The finish is malty and short. Just average overall.

Bottled. Poured clear, medium garnety-brown with a short, dense off-white head. The aroma picked up sweet nutty and chocolate notes, with accents of brown sugar and earth.. sweet and candied overall. The flavor found the same sweet nutty notes and some caramel at the core.. vanilla provided additional sweetness.. spicier on the back-end with cloves and more nutty sweetness. Medium-bodied at most and very sweet on the palate (a little too candy-like).. grainy on the end.. very drinkable stuff.

Pours a very nice dark brown color. Simple roasted malt/toasty bread aroma. Great full roasted malt flavor. Excellent! Overall, this is really good stuff. I wish I had regular access to it...

8/6/10. Thanks, lithy! 12oz bottle. Sweet fruity aroma with plenty of chocolate as well. Nice caramelly and chocolate flavor with a hint of sour as well.

Not too too bad, but nothing really to write home about. The appearance is light and transparent with a brownish color and thin off white foam head. The aroma is somewhat nutty and malty but nothing too big sticks out. Has good carbonation. The flavors were very distinguishable.

My second favorite yahoo behind hop project. Easy to drink it is both woody and dry.
