Postmortem Brew Review
Solid looking, rich thick brown color.
Sweet malt aromas. Bit of woody scents and slightly boozy on the nose.
Small bubbles in the one-finger caramel tan colored head.
Spots of lacing on the glass with each sip. Head simmers to a ring on edge of glass.
Sweet but not too sweet caramelized malt taste. Touches of vanilla on back of tongue.
Medium carbonation.
Full bodied, not too complex, but with a definite heavy alcohol presence.
Grim Reaper's Eulogy
Not one of your run-of-the-mill brown ales, this one. The first sip told me to sit down. And I did. And it was
consumed by the sip after that. Slowly. Deliberately. Not unlike the process that must have went into building
the most gi-noumous tanks of Palo Santo wood in which, it became a beer.
First sip: Boozy. My oh my the alcohol! But not stinging or warming. Just there...lurking.
Next sip: Enjoyable. Sweet malts rolling.
And the next: Enveloping. Tongue treated to vanilla finish.
Then: Rich. Not dulling. Not cloying. Full, in body. Simple character of malt, vanilla, earthy wood.
Now: Pleasurable. Each sip is taking me further from second thoughts of the 12% ABV. Alcohol still there...lurking...lurking...but not beating up my senses.
I once had a beer. Or should I say, she once had me?
Glass is gone now. This beer has flown.
Sigh. Queue the sitar.
Isn't it good? Paraguayan Wood.
