Tall Tales And Other Nonsense
Westbrook Brewing Co.

 

 

Pours the blackest of any beer I have ever cracked open! Lacing and dark brownish head. No one smell overpowering! Mouth feel is almost overpowering in my mouth and the high ABV is absolutely noticeable, and for my tastes just a bit extreme. But I bought a 4 pack and I am just going to have to struggle downing the other three. Very slowly and one week at a time. For sure this is not a beer would drink 16 ounces by myself. Made to share.

Thanks to Mbgreg for this pure gem.
Received in the NBS BIF #15....Yes it IS still going. And going strong.
Speaking of strong. this is glorious.
Poured form a 16 oz. can.
One of the most beautiful pours I've seen in a year or more. Deep, dark fudge colored liquid capped by the richest, lushest, most graceful cocoa colored foam. A smattering of the larger bubbles are almost metallic in their radiance. Captivating.
Nose is awash in deep rich chocolate notes coupled with a velvety nuttiness. It's almost like a imperial stout version of a cafe mocha meets a turtle (the caramel, nut, chocolate candy).
Lord the flavor is all the nose foreshadows and more. Now I get hints of the coconut. But the wash of chocolate and baked nuts is simply divine.
Mouthfeel is spot on for style. Chewy enough.
Overall, I would LOVE to hit this again and share it with others.
