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.

Brewed Aggressively in Minnesota

Burk från SB. Opak kolsvart vätska med ett högt stabilt krämigt beige skum. Doft av molass, fudge, praliner, kaffe, vanilj, bourbon, mörka bär. Stor kropp men len och harmonisk med lager på lager smaker. Pastry på riktigt. Mycket gott

Held up ok. Cola and cocoa. Some oxidation but not terrible. A little thin now. Drink now, can't imagine it will hold up much longer.

A bit more happening than the 2010. Cherry and cola. Cocoa too. Oxidized yes but not terribly. Again, I'd drink this now.

Djupt gyllengul disig vätska med tunn skumslöja. Arom av apelsin, citrus, grape, kåda och gräs. Kladdig och kantig maltighet med en rejäl skjuts från en tallig, citrusig, rivig beska. Bra kraft bakom eldigheten och den rejäla munfyllnaden.
