About
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.

“Notes of maple syrup and vanilla”. Stout with added “natural” flavors, because we’re not worth the expense of using real maple syrup in the brewing process. Instead they add “French toast extract”. Fuck this cloy-ass shit. What happened to you, Left Hand?

Can, 0.473l. Aroma of roasted malt, milk chocolate and vanilla. Pours pitch black color with thick creamy cappuccino-like head and good lacing. Taste starts with medium sweet richly roasted malt and chocolate, follows by vanilla, nuts and wood with earthy note, mouthfeel is smooth, while finish is average grassy bitter. Medium body, creamy texture and soft carbonation in palate. Definitely not a left hander…

Tap at Drunk Uncle on Big Lebowski Day. Pretty standard for the odd style that is white Stout. Sweet, syrupy...tasty but doesn't really have balance. Syrupy vanilla, soft light coffee, chocolate syrup in top. Not one I will revisit, but acceptable for the style so decent numbers.

Big pounder can from the $1 discount rack LoL. It says its a nitro, so I'm expecting its flat no matter how good it pours to the eye. Very nice silky white head on a slightly hazy pale brew. And yes, it is totally flat, quite rudely flat at that. It does have an acceptable limey flavor and the vanilla and cinnamon don't add too much spice but it's certainly there. In the middle taste gets somewhat weird and then the vanilla and cinnamon really start to take hold. Wow, this could use a little carbonation to distract from the spices. I know the nitro widget makes it a lovely looking pour for the eye, but I just can't get used to flat beer. I must say that it doesn't really come across as over 7%. Hides teh alky well.
