3/3/2010: I remember having this beer years ago, and liking it a lot more than I am this time around. I don’t have a whole lot to say about this beer unfortunately.
The smell is a little bit of hops, and little bit of malt. The taste is a bit lacking for me. You can taste some caramel malts, a toasted flavor, and some dry hop. A weird metallic/mineral flavor is coming through. Overall it just seemed a bit watery to me. Am I getting too used to drinking imperials? Maybe… But I just wish this had more flavor.
Picture of the day: This one is good. Accurate movie posters for this years oscar nominees?
That is a gorgeous bottle though, hehe.
