First sip is like having one Lays. It's a tease to the taste buds that is cruel and inhumane. The sweet malt and dark coffee roast long to be imbibed with more vigor, but the sip itself is still tremendous - and it hints at why may lurk underneath for those who dare quaff their beverage. For the time, the smokey finish lingers in the mouth like a toasted marshmallow that has been swallowed but not forgotten. More information is required for this review. Yes, I'm going to swig.
Tip-in is sweet coffee and unexpected toffee. As the middle approaches, a smooth milk has prickly bits of bitterness on the outside, nipping at the whole mouth before the creamy smooth center drips down the back. As the middle subsides, the finish brings a chocolate bitterness and a the smoke from the tip-in returns to send off the sweet milky swirls.
Bottom Line: This is an excellent beer. I'm thinking it is the best Left Hand Brewing beer made.
