SaltyGrog Profile

7oz pour at the source.

Dark iced tea, clear, milky, lingering dirty head.
Chimney smoke, dry grain, not a big nose.
Dry maple smoke on the front, beef, very subtle prickly fruit, cola, oats, mellow char, added black malt gives it a little hair. Irritating, peppery hops on the backwash are really nice.
Frothy, very acidic, thin, easy, super sessionable.

Good.

1 month ago

6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5.5 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7

Cloudy, pale gold. This one got talked up a lot.
Floral, rose nose. Nothing big.
Taste is apple-ginger soda, just some raw, prickly ginger heat.
Yeasty entrails.

One-dimensional & just okay.

1 month ago

7.9/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 9 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7

Pale gold, bright pour. Getting faster at typing these things out while trying to hold a conversation with the bartender.
Delicate honey nose is accented with dried peppers & sandalwood, black pepper.
Semi-sweet, creamy, light acid, orange, tasty veggie essence. Nicely delicate.

Well made. Good.+

Bright, medium gold pour.

Honeyed Plum from Starrlight Mead

1 month ago

7.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 8.5 Texture 7 Overall 8

Bright peach, still pour at the source. Typing while starring the host straight in the eyes.
Twangy nose. Smell more like cooked peach than honey; lemon.
Twangy muscadine feels. Tart n sweet.
Thin thin.

Great.
