<\/a>Looks like we got this one just in time.<\/p><\/div>\n
In terms of body, it starts lighter than I’d expect but gradually thickens up somehow.\u00a0 Perhaps that’s just my perception of what a stout should feel like, gradually giving way to what it actually was, but I can’t be sure.\u00a0 It’s certainly a puzzling brew, in many ways.<\/p>\n
The sour portion of the beer is somewhat obscured by the malts but is still certainly present, and it finishes with what I believed were walnuts.\u00a0 In addition, I detected a hint of green apple and honeydew as well as a definite cider aspect as well.<\/p>\n
The most interesting part of this beer was that as I moved it around, I realized it was changing flavor depending on where it was on my tongue.\u00a0 As it shifted from sour to sweet to bitter to salty (as taste buds recognize) it changed even in that small amount of space.\u00a0 Really a great experience.<\/p>\n
Andrew:<\/strong> Madrugada Obscura?\u00a0 Say that three times fast…I can’t.\u00a0 (Eds note: Certainly not after a few beers, at least.)<\/em> Back to the beer – the Dark Dawn Stout poured very dark with lots of thick, chunky, khaki-colored head. Sour notes were right up front in the nose of the beer, which obviously set it apart from other stouts, along with a lot of funk and a hint of chocolate.<\/p>\nThe taste of the beer started off sour, then I could really pick up hops, some funk (yay brett), chocolate and a bit of fruit, cherries perhaps?<\/p>\n
Good beer – smooth, refreshing and tons of flavor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
