We've already had a pretty good experience with this brewery. Their #10 was quite a fine brew and was highly rated by the both of us. Let's see how it's little brother fared.
This brew poured with a pretty neutral brown hue. It was pretty murky - probably because I got the end of the bottle, so bits of barley were in the head and in the brew - it made it look like coffee. There was also a fantastic off-white head that lasted for quite a while. It had a pretty sweet scent with a hint of coffee and hops in it. Strangely, on first taste, the first thing I got was alcohol. This is pretty strange considering most brews will have the alcohol taste at the end. It reminded me strongly of a thick cappuccino and it ended very sweet. This was wildly different than most other high-alcohol brews that we have where it starts alcoholic and ends sweet. Dare I say: it tickled my fancy.
Overall - a new, very interesting brew. Much different than it's older brother. It was very, very reminiscent of coffee and I thought it would go pretty nicely with some dessert or something of the like.
