Description
It all started with a humble homebrew kit and the drive to make better beer. Tired of the same bland and dated choices everywhere, Air Force friends Eric Wallace and Dick Doore set out to make the kind of beer that excited them; beer they wanted to drink. A hobby quickly became an obsession and it wasn't long before Left Hand Brewing opened for business on January 22, 1994. Left Hand has steadily increased its production, making the Brewers Association’s Top 50 Craft Brewers list in 2012.

Pours a slightly hazy golden/orange with an off-white head. Aroma of orange peel, grapefruit, plenty of hops and malts as promised. This brew has a hefty ABV, but the alcohol does not overrule. I really enjoyed this one, will drink again when the opportunity arises!

Aroma of malt, wheat, banana, chocolate, smoked bacon, and some taste I can’t identify so it must be the tea. Flavour is malty sweetness, quite sweet, with a smokey finish. I’m not terribly crazy about this, but it is definitely an interesting brew.

First beer rated on Brewver.

Loads of cinnamon. Cacao, light roast. Thin body. Black pour with mocha head and lacing. Light bitter end but really just kind of fails. Can from Courthouse Brew Shop advent calender.

From tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Aroma is roasty with dark malt, caramel, notes of chocolate, hints of coffee and tobacco. Flavour is medium sweet with a roasty bitterness. Body is medium. I'd like a little more body, but besides that I can't fault this fine Porter.
