On a strangely muggy Saturday afternoon in July, I cruised into town for the weekend on the heels of a sudden bottle release of West Ashley the day before, hoping against hope there might be some leftover. There wasn't, but as a consolation, there was this fun Cask experiment pouring (plus, I didn't have to explain to my wife why our weekend getaway had to start with me standing in line for a couple hours, so maybe it was for the best).
A really nice variant of a brewery house beer. Chavez carries something of a lighter body and a restrained flavor profile, so it offers a lot of space to drop in added ingredients. Vanilla in a porter is something of a no-brainer at this point, and works well here, while the sarsaparilla adds a bitterness on the back end, as well as a root beer flavor. Perhaps this is comparable to those trending alcoholic root beers?
And then there's the Cask factor, too. I love Cask beers, with the creaminess and richness you get in the mouthfeel and body.
Very nice overall. Hope I get a chance to drink it again someday. Betting I won't.
