Eric brought this one to the October 3R6P tasting. This is my first beer from this brewer. +++ Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a murky black color with a large tan head that faded quickly and left no lacing. The aroma was strong mesquite and roasty malts. The flavor was strong hickory, mesquite, bacon, light roasty malts, faint vanilla, toast and cream. More sweet than I expected. The finish was long with hickory, cream and roasty malts lingering. Fairly full bodied and nicely smooth. Interesting.

Sample at the Jackie O’s Bottle Sale on 08/27/2011. Murky amber-brown pour with a thin light beige head that recedes quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of dark fruits, vanilla and bready malt. Medium to full body with flavors of sweet malt, figs, fruit and yeast. The finish is fruity with a mildly tart aftertaste. Decent overall.

Cask at flying saucer. Got the very last pint out of the cask making it look like chocolate milk. The aroma is floral hops an grapefruit. Thin mouthfeel with a very bitter hop bite upfront and very long lingering bitter finish. If you love bitter than this is for you.

On tap at the Flying Saucer Eleventeen Anniversary Party. Poured a cloudy orangish gold with a white head that dissipated completely. Aroma had notes of light tropical fruit backed by some sweet grains and a hint of salt. Flavor was dominated by salt with a bit of backing sweet grain and light fruit, but any notes were overwhelmed by the salt. Not particularly enjoyable for me.

Bomber from ericandersnavy. Pours pretty black with a five finger creamy tan head. The aroma is smoked chocolate. Med+ body with frothy creamy carb. Flavor is really wood smoke with a lot of dark chocolate. Imagine a steak cooked over mesquite and then rolled in shaved chocolate? Minus the blood. It’s almost beefy. Finishes pretty much as it starts. Except maybe a little coffee is detectable. Damn good beer.

On tap at flying saucer Houston. Pours a slightly hazy burnt orange with a gray head that lasts throughout the beer and laces slightly. Aroma has a combination of sweet citrus and floral hops backed by a bit of grain. Flavor is similar with flora and light citrus in the front that mellows to light fruit and sweet oats.
