K-9 Cruiser Winter Ale
12 oz from the Coop for about $1.40.. poured into a shaker pint.. listening to Pucifer "V is for Vagina" The album was a gift!? Aggressive pour left little head and no lacing atop a dark brown brew with crystal clear red highlites. Aroma is bready malts.. some caramel malts and a little fruitness and lite butterscotch... uninspiring for sure. Toasted and lite chocolate malts mix well with yeasty fruitness.. little hops to note.. More of not alot to pick-out... Nice smooth body... I am sure there are hops in there, but overpowered by the malts even when drank at room temp. My old notes say this one was an "Old Ale" .. It still sorta fits into the winter warmer category... but the old notes agree, this is just an OK brew... Old notes and New reviews say this brew needs more of everything.. aroma, flavor, body.. Etc. I will probably only ever buy this brew again, if I hear Flying Dog has made a move "back" toward their roots. I only hope the Flying Dog BW's in the cellar are better than this brew.
