Smoke & Marzen from Gotahold Brewing (Eureka Springs, United States 🇺🇸)

7.5/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Pint at a restaurant/taproom in Rogers, AR - a solid rendition here - rich smokiness that doesn’t overpower or become abrasive - the malt structure is a little on the thin side in the finish, but it is clean and lightly bready, with a touch of caramel - lingering smoke and light acidity - I got a second pint despite the very large restaurant taplist, so it must have been purdy good.

Can from Total Wine in Arlington, VA - viscous black pour - looks a bit oily, and the texture follows suit - I’ve had previous batches of this beer and have been impressed - while this masks the alcohol well and is fairy rich, it seems to lack the depth and complexity of previous batches - some chocolate, light vinous notes, a little coffee with cream - sugary finish - nose has some nice smoke to it that does not show up in the flavor - yeah, definitely not the same, but enjoyable enough - I feel like this brewery has fallen off in the last year or so.

Can from a four pack picked up in Arkansas on a family trip - black pour - I appreciate the restraint on this one - the 9% abv is an aberration for such a stout these days, and it leads to a more balanced, semi-dry beer - the adjuncts are also used with a light hand - cocoa, earthy malt, coffee, light tannic character - finish has a gentle acidity - this is really a nice earthy malt showcase and is flavorful enough to sip - lightly warming finish - quite good and I believe my first Arkansas tick.

375ml corked and caged bottle - probably one of the more subtly sour sour ales I’ve had in a while, which I have honestly missed - subtle tartness, acid, and tannic qualities up front make way for chocolate, vanilla, oak, cherry - sweet through the middle, and lightly warming, followed by a resurgence of drier tannic notes and lightly warming whiskey followed by a mild funk - dry, oaky finish - every once in a while New Belgium releases something that shows me they still have it.

Pint can - labeled at 12% abv - pours mostly black with a faint ring of lace - looks a little like cola - creamy texture, medium body - pretty standard old school American imperial stout - coffee, chocolate, a little bit of smoke - moderate warmth - some blueberries and cream late, touch of vanilla - finish is slightly harsh/abrasive, with lingering smoke and alcohol burn - it’s perfectly fine.

Can - clear dark amber - faint lace - nose is mostly bourbon, vanilla, dark fruit - creamy texture - quite sweet and sugary - plums, caramelized sugars, toffee, treacle - there is a slight earthy maltiness, but not getting the peaty, smoky notes of a scotch ale at all - finish is crazy hot and boozy - a blunt instrument that is not terribly complex.
