Notes from 4/6/13
Brooklyn Dry Irish Stout
Near black appearance with mahogany-brown at the edges. Smooth, roasty, chocolate malt aroma. Chocolatey malts with hop bitterness that carries thru to the finish. A good dose of nuttiness and hops flavor broadens the entree. Recommended for anyone who wishes a certain ubiquitous dry stout had a little more depth in flavor.

21st Amendment Sneak Attack Saison
Canned on 12/16/12. Poured in a wine goblet; appears hazy golden-yellow with a small head. Phenolic, band-aid aroma; ginger spice. Smooth bitterness and a very dry finish. Cloves in both the nose and mouth. Peppery flavoring hops. Spicy and acidic, with spices that linger on the palate (peppermint). A brew with a warming quality. Recommended!
It's May! I'm looking forward to the summer seasonals that break out of the citrusy-lemon mold and push clean pilsners and Munich helles style lagers on the American public. Cheers!
