Lagunitas The Hairy Eyeball

From Lagunitas – Our New Year’s release for the seasoned beer folks … Big, brown warmer with several types of crystal malt. No actual eyeballs can actually be found in the beer.

Lagunitas Brewing Company – The Hairy Eyeball – 12 oz. bottle poured into a pint glass. 9% abv.

Appearance: Pours a dark, translucent red with an off white 1/8 inch frothy head.

Aroma: Light bread and sweetness and a very small whiff of bitter hops.

Taste: Burnt caramel, bitter hops and bready malt.

Mouthfeel: Hot, full bodied and a tad creamy.

Overall: A very enjoyable American Strong Ale, reminds me a lot of Arrogant Bastard Ale.
