Description
Great Beer Above All Else
Surly: The frustration we felt when we couldn't find a good beer, much less a great one, in Minnesota. So we made some.
Great beer is all that really matters. Well, that and pushing your limits a bit, looking out for your people, taking pride in where you’re from, and having as much damn fun as you can while doing it.

Only appropriate to also pop the BA, much softer notes but also soft hints of rye and bourbon, vanilla bourbon notes float to the top.

Oops almost made it to 10 years, oh well, the cellar must get cleaned out! Hints of chocolate and coffee but notes of cherries and raisins dominate now. Nose of licorice and chicory. Pretty nice still!

Orange and tengerine zest, with honey and some floral notes. Crisp mouth feel, lively carb. Medium bitter, dry, more orange zest.

Black pour, small off white head. Aroma is obviously smoky, earthy, lots of wood, hints of coffee, and some bitter cocoa powder. Mouth feel is thin, like I would expect from a lagered ale, with a soft carb. The finish is more woody smoke, notes of bacon come through with more earthy barrel and campfire. Low to medium bitterness and some soy in the end.

2015 vintage. Jet black, dark mocha head. Rich, Internet roasty Aroma. Burnt, charred malts. Some solid hops, loads of cocoa, and some soy with subtle dark fruit. Some alcohol comes through and warms in the mouth feel. The body is thick and viscous, with a soft carb. The finish is incredibly roasty, with a subtle sweetness and a a medium bitterness. Burnt espresso and cocoa power dominate the finish with a dry roasty edge. Nice stuff.

dark brown, nice large beige head. Aroma is sweet and hoppy, with a nice maltiness. Flavour is hoppy, but very subtle, with a nice caramel. Wow, this is a great session beer, crisp, and flavourful, i could drink this all night!

Pounder can for 1$ off clearance rack. Pour is slight haze on light orange tinted pale. Nice head fades to pond scum. Nose is alarming thick hop perfume; slight diesel, slight BO. First big gulp is viscous mouth coating crappy bitter hand soap. Terribly on style, hehehh. Difficult for any lager lover. Bitterness sets in the back of the throat and won't go away, its like the back of my tongue cannot be rinsed of this acrid character. After a few more gulps I'm hoping the alky in this will dull my senses a little so I won't mind it's terribleness. In the middle I keep drinking, whew, what a master blaster this is to my girlie lager loven taste buds, whew, whew whew. Am I drinking pine sap tar reduced with turpentine? Not sure, but I bet this tastes like that. In the end I'm thinking this is punishment; simple painstaking, paltry, putrid, panicky, paradoxical punishment. Glad I got 16 ounces of this such that I'm getting a little dizzy towards the end of this 7+ alky brew. Finishes with a wicked whiny wonky. weird whack to the brain and taste sensations. Go figger; a tick to resent for quite a while. There, you have it. Just like any other million straight away rude ass IPA out there. Please, somebody give me an ice cold cheap pale american macro lager to chase this with!

Aningen disig bärnstensfärgad vätska med medelhögt krämigt skum. Doft och smak av aprikos, persika, tangerine, tallskott och mango. Maffig men ändå balanserad med relativt snäll beska med resin och citrusvita. Riktigt bra västkust-Dipa.
