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.

Yet another nice bottle from ygtbsm94, he seems to have an endless supply! No head, but a nice subtle smokiness throughout. Very nice.

Can thanks to Ben! Pours a clear brown with a grayish brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is full of roasted coffee with just a slight grain backing. Flavor starts a bit more mellow with grain and bread but the roasted coffee quickly takes over for a nice finish.

Bottle thanks to billshmeinke. Pours with a tan head and a black body. Aromas of apple, maple, bacon, wood, light citrus notes (?), and brown sugar. Taste is smokey, oaky, vanilla, bbq, chocolate, [cannot read note], and surprisingly dry. Lively bubbles.

16oz can pours a totally transparent, burnt orange with a frothy, creamy, lacing white head. Nose is nose is malty, crackers, bread dough, some pitted fruits, some light pine. Flavor is a little on the watery side, malt, biscuits, orangina, iced tea, a little pine tar way at the end. Finish is watery and lightly sweet. It’s not bad, it’s just not interesting.
