McDermottDrink Profile

Intense smoky nose right up front. Dark brown Peter put under a thin, lacy brown head. Good old smoked ham taste, as expected. Which some people could take or leave. Certainly hits all the points for the style, and I rather enjoy it.

Pink waxed bottle. Pours deep brown color with no foam. Nose of a bit of bourbon or whiskey, some deep malt smells, too. Taste is kind of syrupy, even a bit sugary, but there's still some malt attached. Any bitterness is pretty much gone. But this has thickened out pretty nicely. Perhaps some book leather and mapled pipe tobacco.

Now that I’ve had the 2001 Behemoth that the Floyds "found" in the cooler and put on tap at the brewpub, I can discount my description below (and save my bottle of 2005 to age for a while). The draft pour is a deep cloudy brown, with a thin barleywine head. Big-ass malts prevail in this one, with a bit of taffy apple-caramel sweetness. Alcohol is not heady or overpowering… at first, but sneaks up big time toward the end. There’s a touch brandy, with a swirl of strawberry, prune and cherry. Very thick and chewy. Bottled off kegging line by 3F’s employee. My rating is tempered by the fact that the sample was bottled 4 years ago and not counter-pressure filled. But I expect to have some fresher stuff when the bottles finally come out this summer. This sample was slightly cloudy. Not as hoppy as most 3F’s, just the remains of a fine hop bouquet. This is, yes, slightly oxidized, but also sweet and somewhat fruity, with a hint of raspberry.

Kind of a dive bar ambiance wedged in next to the brew works, which I enjoy, in fact. Friendly servers, usually personable customers. Food is a quick service pizza, but there are always deliveries available and a regular food truck schedule. A few video and pinball games.
A nice place to hang for a few beers. Takeout cans available. Credit cards only.
