My name's Johnny Knoxville and this is my Big Red Rocket Ale.
Pours out into the glass with a nice, dark brown color and a full off-white head. There was noticeable sediment in the beer with the bubbles from the carbonation. It smelled quite fruity and light - almost like a Belgian Strong Ale. The taste was rather bitter though. It had a roasted/smoked characteristic - probably from the barrels or wood it was aged in - a far cry from the smell. It was a smooth beer in terms of texture but it had a very strange complexion due to the sharpness of the tastes and the smoked nature of the beer.
Overall, this was a beer that kinda went downhill as the experience went on. I was intrigued first off by the smell but then it drew very far away from this first impression. It wasn't terrible, but I didn't it that stellar. I feel like it needs to find an identity first.
