I was looking for a darker beer, since my last tries had been lighter. The label said what I wanted it to say, so home it came. I don't know if I was extra energetic walking home or if my refrigerator is starting to develop epilepsy, but when I opened the bottle there was a small foam eruption. I'm used to beers being foamy when poured, but this one was volcanic. Fortunately, it didn't last long and most of the foam ended up in the glass anyway.
Yeah, that's kinda familiar |
Once it had calmed down enough to drink, I found it to be a fine brown ale. It has a slightly sweet smell, and nutty flavor like many of its type. It's also opaque brown in color, which reminds me of some unfiltered Belgian beers, but without any of their sourness. The label suggests serving with hearty Cuban food - or cigars. I think I would be happy with a good chile to go with this beer. It would be good for a meal, complementing without distracting or overwhelming the food.
Gotta wait 20 minutes for this |
