1/11/2010: I know I have been rating a lot of beers A- or higher lately, but thats only because I am going out of my way to buy REALLY good beer. Yes I am that guy who walks into the bottle-shop with an excel spreadsheet printed out. Also I want to clarify that most of my “grade” is based on taste. I would say its about 70% taste, 20% mouthfeel, and 10% smell. Honestly I could give a #$%@ what the beer looks like as long as the taste is there, what do you think I am vain? Now go make me a sammich.
So onto the beer. This stuff is super complex. Smells like sweet chocolate covered espresso beans, and tastes like a melted milk chocolate hershey bar and a light kick of coffee. It almost has a milk stout quality to it. There is no sign at all of the 8.5% ABV in this beer, it is hidden very well. This beer goes down way to easy. It reminds me a lot of Bells Double Cream, but more complex. If you are able to find this you should buy out the store and be sure to send me one… kthx.
The name's Drew. Just a normal 29 yr old guy from Pittsburgh with an abnormal obsession for craft beer, web design and photography. I plan on pouring one new beer a day, photographing it, drinking it, and posting my thoughts on it while trying to inject a little humor. My reviews aren't meant to be technical, but more or less to give you an idea what the beer looks like poured, and a basic idea of the taste.
