11 oz pour at Taco Mac, East West Connector, Austell, GA, USA. $6.25!
A still, “black as night” pour with no head. I suspect that this is just due to the inability of the barstaff to pour a beer, but ho hum this is Taco mac and this is what you get – suck it up!
Obviously I wanted to allow this to warm some and when one does one is not disappointed. As is often the case with Shmaltz we get a very complex beer in the nose and the tastes. Layer after layer of hops and rich, rich malts compete for attention. It’s a pretty sweet beer but it comes together nicely. Alcohol is extremely well hidden. It’s there, but by no means in your face. Compolex prune and brown sugar notes dominante in a good way.
Finishes with more rich malt layers that coat the tongue and provide a delicious backdrop to enjoy the beer.
A sipper and a classic fireside end to the evening. Delicious, these guys don’t do much wrong.
