Ok, this is my second review on a Lagunitas brew and it will most likely be my last. Is their water coming from Death Valley??!! Oh my gosh this brew was horrid; not even worthy of being used in my yard tonic for fear of killing off all vegetation! It pours up a pleasingly rich dark mahogany colored body with a somewhat nice foamy head. The aromas were very pleasing; filled with toasted malts, sugars, and hints of cherry. The taste (oh my) was definitely NOT to my liking. I don't know what it is but none of their brews possess a well-balanced taste in my opinion. Like a dry, dry wine it was very chalky and it was just something that I could not get around. It was almost like gnawing on a rotted piece of burlap; yeah, it was that bad. So I've tried a few of their brews but don't look for any further reviews on their products (unless someone has just begged and pleaded to buy me one, cause I'm not spending any more of my money on them!).

This was very sweet and malty, and I thought it had a strong aftertaste. I must be a pussy, because this is too strong for my taste. Then again, maybe Mickey's ruined me for malt liquors.

Wooboy! This is dangerous! Very tasty; malty, with a strong carmel and nut flavor, with a slight hop backend. Balanced throughout. Wonderful alcohol warming, but no burn whatsoever. This is what malt liquors want to be.

Very dark and thick. I'm definitely taking my time with this. Lots of roasted malt, some coffee taste and every once in a while a very powerful flash of alcohol, similar to vodka.

This is an impressive beer! You would think that with 9% alcohol and 56 IBUs that one of those items would lead to an overpowering taste. However, this beer is really smooth and extremely well balanced. No alcohol taste and the bitterness is kept in check by roasted malt, spice and fruit undertones. Its damn good and I am going to be a wreck after I finish the rest of these.
