Cigar City Brewing "Gourds Of Thunder"
on tap at the brewpub, 23 December 2014
$6 / pint; listed at 6.7% abv
Appearance: Brown-black body beneath a dark tan head of creamy froth. Very good head retention and lacing.
Aroma: Dark skinned fruit, spice, dark malt, burnt sugar, almost floral-herbal as well.
Flavor: Spicy. Smoky. Burnt sugar. Slightly vegetal. Dark chocolate. Nutmeg is clear... allspice as well. FRESH... perhaps a bit too spicy. Develops an anise like component. Finishes with dark malt and spice.
Mouthfeel: Full bodied with a slightly restrained carbonation. Smooth.
Overall: The vegetal note is not a positive, and it was a bit spicy by the end of the glass; perhaps some more aging would have rounded it a bit. At least it's somewhat unique, especially as a winter/holiday offering.
