THE FOLLOWING REVIEW IS FOR A CASK CONDITIONED BEER.
Although the Tatonka is a usual on the BJ's line up, they tweaked the recipe a little by adding raspberries. I was excited to try it.
I believe the cask had been tapped a couple of days prior to my visit, because of all the BJ's cask ale's i've had, this one seemed to be the leaste active. It seemed to have settled down a bit. The head was a little more tight knit and uniform and the actual beer wasn't as cloudy and didnt smell as yeasty. It was still a good beer.
Pitch black, under the finger thick tan head. No carbonation and room tempature.
I think cask-style tamed the beast. This one was easy drinking. The usual smells of roasted malts and heavy hops. I was dissipointed that the raspberry smell or taste did not come through at all. There may have been a slight fruity-sweetness in the aftertaste. Whatever change they expected the raspberry to make, it seemed like the same beer (but better via cask, of course)
Once again. The Tatonka is a good beer. Hoppier than most stouts, but i like that. There was very little difference in the tweaked recipe but it was difinatly easy drinking and very tasty.
