Alo my sexy friends. Tonight is a very special night. For this is the 22nd anniversary of a man morphing into a god. Witnessed by America and the entire world, one man and one man alone stood and shouted “we will not be fools, cowards or jerkies! We are America and damn it to heck, we can skate fabulously!”. Brian Boitano skated and shook his little money maker across the ice. Dressed in a tight royal blue wizard outfit he performed the amazing quad toe loop and took home gold! President Reagan released a statement addressed the world shortly after the amazing feat. Reagan stated “Brian Boitano does not represent American males”.
I’m sorry for wasting your time! I’m not funny, this beer is just making me feel loopy! Is it a beer? Is it a weak liquor? Who knows! All I know is I should invest in a snifter because this pint glass is way way way too much!
It poured dark dark dark brown. A shade or two lighter than black. Its head was about 3 fingers, dark tan and quite sneaky! It almost foamed past the top of my glass and onto my poor sticky keyboard.
As soon as I popped the cork the aroma of bourbon filled my nose. Yowzas! Bourbon overwhelmed while roasted malts were there but were almost suffocated. Bourbon is quite distinct and powerful! Immediately I feel I should have let this age!
I was hoping that maybe the flavor and mouthfeel would ease the initial shock. It didn’t. It tastes as it smells. The bourbon hit my tongue hard as little slight hints of watery chocolate came through. I felt it was too watery for the flavors and the stingy carbonation didn’t seem to fit either.
I don’t think this drink was quite ready. It wasn’t balanced and the flavors needed to mellow out a bit. I may pick up another bottle to try in a year or so.
There are many rave reviews on other sites that I just don’t agree with. I wonder if people favor certain beers because they are limited releases. So they can tell that story of the fish that got away, the best beer that once was.
