What about the beer?

Colour is dark nut brown with only a thin white halo. Aroma has caramel malts, coffee and alcohol. Taste gets on with hoppy bitter and sweet malty bite. Sweet caramel malts and high bitterness dominate with a coffee sidenote, some hints of nut and chocolate flying by too. Towards the end sweet coffee comes in front with alcoholic bite. Aftertaste has alcoholic bitterness, coffee and malts.

Unique but delicious combination of caramel malts, bitter hops and sweet coffee. Bittersweet flavours make a beautiful three-wheel match. The alcohol shows up in the end without aggression. Very enjoyable American experience.

We talked about how country music would probably match American brews like Bud and Coors in the previous post, didn't we? While waiting for that to happen, we'll stick to folky rock and continue this blog's Black Crowes Friday with their debut single:

The Black Crowes: Jealous Again (YouTube)

From the 1990 album Shake Your Money Maker, the song was written by Chris Robinson and Rich Robinson.
