Fat Tuesday Strong Ale
Redfish New Orleans Brewhouse

I found that this beer was the breweries coup de gras. It had that effect on my head at the end of a day of beer tasting, but it really seemed to blow everything else they did out of the water.

I didn't write down the ABV of the beer in my review, so I will avoid putting the incorrect number up there, but I do remember it being right around 10%. The drinkability, to me, was on the same scale as DFH's Olde School BW.

At first, this beer is a silky smooth almost-strong ale. The malty-booze kick is there, but aren't disguised by a huge over-hop barleywine feel. There is more at work here than meets the eye. I wonder if candied sugar or the like was used.

My review notes 'gorgeously balanced' but also 'cloaked and mysterious". I feel, 1,000 miles away, that I'd have to have another to get a fair gauge on this beer.
