re: Let's talk microbrews good beer
So tonight was Sam Adams Double Bock, from the Imperial Series, which I've had before
It's not bad but a couple of things could make it so much better.. great head, very malty, very alcoholy.. it's almost like they tried to hide the alcohol behind the sweetness, but it didn't quite work, the alcohol comes in strong towards the end
an interesting beer to try, but we'll leave it at 2 times not completely sold on it
picked up a 12pk of otter creek variety.. winter ale, copper ale, pale ale
otter creek winter ale - solid brew, chocolatey malts, some berry (raspberry or such), a bit toasted in the malt, could finish a bit sweeter.. good for 1 or 2 bottles a sitting
otter creek copper ale - solid head, nice natural taste with earthy hops, a bit starchy (bread taste?) with higher carbonation, finishes pretty quickly.. liked this one the most out of the bunch
otter creek pale ale - like many other american pale ales, starts off with a bit of sweetness.. caramelish.. becomes apricoty and maybe a bit of honey, crisp dry and hoppy floral finish.. very easy to drink, would recommend
