phaleslu	3.7 Steel Toe Lunker 750 ml bottle. I believe this is a 2014 vintage. I've had it way too long. Pours a cloudy amber with almost no head, just some small bubbles scattered around the edge. Notes of oak, rye whiskey, caramel, dried dark fruits, leather, tobacco, tea, and mild baking spices. Full-bodied, with low carbonation and a boozy, semi-sweet mouthfeel. Any carbonation is pretty much gone and the booze has tilted it a bit too far, but it's not bad. The age is my fault. I'll revisit a fresher one when I get a chance. Saturday, February 17, 2024

MNAle	3.6 Steel Toe Size 7 IPA The aroma is definitely in the WCIPA territory, although somewhat subdued. Citrus is there, of course, along with a floral component and a bit earthy. Just small hints of tropical fruits. Subtle bready malts back up the hop aromas. Orange-amber color, clear, with moderate rising bubbles to a creamy, slightly off-white head with decent retention. The beer leaves attractive lacing as the head recedes. Taste is immediately bitter, but back by very flavorful hops. The earthiness is more prominent in the flavor than in the aroma. Good combination of flavors, including the citrus and floral notes and the bready malts. The bitterness remains into the aftertaste, providing a lingering bitterness inviting the next sip. The mouth feel is on the thin side of moderate, with a drying bitterness. Overall, a good WCIPA. The aroma could be stronger, but the flavors are good with the earthy citrus and floral backed by a decent malt body. Saturday, August 29, 2020
