La Muerta
Tried the 08 and the 09 at the first anniversary party. Two taster glasses: A: Very dark, but when held to the light had a burnt amber lining. One finger head that held on very well. S: The 08 had a great toasted vanilla smell with a hint of chocolate. The 09 had a similar nose, but was not as pronounced. T: Both were fantastic, Kate-ish in flavor. Nice deep tasted malt, chocolate(raw), tiny hint of vanilla. The 08 with a year on it was sublime. Aging very very well! M: Both had a good amount of carbonation, but not too much to bitter the palate. The 08 seemed a bit more creamier than the 09. D: I can drink a bomber by myself if I could, but a great beer like La Muerta should be shared. Overall it was a treat to try these two head-to-head. I'm glad to see that the 08 held up beautifully over the past year. A great treat brewed in the lone star state. Keep up the great work guys. I hear that they got a Bourbon Barrel filled with the 09 batch----YUM!
