Torbata
From a 750 ml bottle, this beer pours a ruddy brown color, with shades of amber. It's a hazy, cloudy beer, with plenty of yeast in suspension. The aroma is something different...lots of tobacco dominate the nose. Also present is pepper, yeast, a bit of alcohol, and spice. Interesting. The flavor is a bit flawed. Medicinal and phenolic. It's like a wild homebrew, and although it's reasonably good, it's not well made. Bandaid and tobacco mix with malt and alcohol in the flavor. There's a bit of hops, some booze-soaked fruit, and a little toasted, buiscuity flavor too. It's all haphazardly jumbled together, with a bit of harsh alcohol tones. Moderately heavy, the beer is also well carbonated, which adds to the bite. I wouldn't go out of my way to have another one of these.
