2nd beer of "Stay @ Home b/c of Snow Rating-Extravaganza." Gifted by PilsnerPeter on his recent travels to the Caribean. 12 oz twist off bottle, with a skull and crossed swords instead of cross bones picture on the cap. Lable says this is actually brewed in Cold Springs, MN and as far as I know that means Gleuk brewing, very nice. Color is dark amber/copper, no head and a small lacing. The aroma is burnt, musky malt, that seems to be a bit old, starting to oxidize a bit, which brings out some butterscotch/caramel aromas. Taste is not so lucky, starts off bland lager taste, ends with herbally and medicinal, just really off putting. It seems old so some oxidized sweetness has come out but it adds to a nasty taste all around. The mouthfeel is a creepy spkiey at times, like expired milk. Will not be finishing this off. Cool label and name but bad beer.
