Postmortem Brew Review
Deep rich brown color.
Hops, malts and maybe cinnamon or nutmeg in the aromas.
Soft warming feel and fruity, soft spice flavor.
Two finger head with some rings of lacing.
Sweet caramel malts and some nutty spices tickle the tongue.
Medium mouth feel and good balance of carbonation.
Grim Reaper's Eulogy
There's Olive, perched on her pillow bed, posing for the camera. Good dog! Just a snapshot in time, capturing the moment of her grandeur. Looking like a 1989 GABF Silver Medal winner all the way!
The beer is a snapshot too, of what a good brown ale can be. Just like the working class dog in the photo, this beer will serve you well. It has enough rich color and body along with some oomph to keep you up and going...perhaps for a walk? Did someone say 'go for a walk'???
Grab the leash and get down to the store to adopt one (or six) of these pups. Get going.
