Brewing something people should know about?
Since 2007, The Full Pint has been where craft beer fans get their news. Breweries and beer brands can reach them too.
Aroma: Vanilla, plum, sassafras,rich brown sugar like malts.
Taste: Spicy hops, burnt sugar, bread crust, cola. Finishes with nutty lingering bitterness.
Mouthfeel: Syrupy with lively bubbles.
Overall: A spicy sweet malty treat. Pretty awesome fresh. This was a three man weave that ended with a two no-look passes and a slam dunk.
Bonus: I haven’t met Jeff in person, but Chuck and Mitch are my local heroes. Some of the coolest dudes you will ever meet, who happen to make amazing beers.
