Courtesy of Bob at The Brick Store – from notes either late 2007 or early 2008 (not sure of the exact date).
The sample pour is a simple dark, dark brown with obviously no head or lace to speak of.
Aroma is very strong which I think I would really like if it not for the slight smoke and the overwhelming oak – I prefer a simpler, liquor like nose without the smokiness.
Very sweet and the sugary notes carry this. I quite like it, and the fact that the sweetness sort of overcomes the alcohol is a good thing for me. Having said this you are simply not going to be able to drink much of this one. I didn’t really care for the Horn Dog original, and I am not a fan of BA beers in general, so I was surprised at the lack of offensive I took at this beer. nevertheless, strictly a one-off for me.
