Imperial Brown Eye
Muddy brown color, ruby tints behind and at sides, slight ring of dirty brown head.
Bourbon hits the nose first, sweet and powerful, lush malt looms beneath.
Taste: Yum, great big mess of richness, in malt and whiskey. There's a brown ale down here, toasted and roasted, then kicked up with a funky beat, twisted around with the barrel-aging.
This is a weird one. Strength really shows in it, big boned, intensely flavored, long, rich finish, great complexity. Very flavors, very deep, vanilla and cocoa coming through…dark rum. Very delicious. If a bit of a complicated muddle. So, it's not clean and smooth, so what, it's got what it takes.
Love to see Surly do things like this more often, on a limited basis. More! Less! More! Less!
