beer_name: John John Dead Guy Ale
text: My cousin, Anthony, brought a bottle of it up to Mammoth on our ski/snowboard trip. I poured it from a 22 oz bomber into the closest thing that looks like a pint glass here in our rental condo. A - Pours over a finger width of head Light amber color, with no carbonation bubbles coming up. The head settles to a nice ring that just floats on top of the beer. There is some lacing left on my glass. S - I get some faint citrus smells, possibly lemon.. There is some grain mixed in, and maybe light alcohol notes. Kind of lacking for being aged in a whiskey barrel. T - The flavor of dead guy ale comes through, predominately. There's some other citrus notes mixed in, with maybe a lingering taste of alcohol long...long afterwards in the aftertaste. But the aging in the whiskey barrels really hasn't done that much for this beer. M - A heavy/syrupy body with plenty of carbonation. I don't really know what style this beer is supposed to represent, but it feels nice. Maybe a touch too much carbonation. D - Tastes good, alcohol is hidden. It's very drinkable...just not what I was expecting.
