Gator Tail Ale
Miami Brewing Company

 

 

Coffee colored, opaque; A tan head recedes to a surface film; A rich, pleasantly pungent aroma; Feels a little flat; The
flavor is sharp and, considering it is only 5.3% ABV, it has a surprising hint of alcohol. Towards the bottom of the glass it gets a little sour.

 

Notes of roasted coffee and chocalate.

purchased an undated 6-pack at Tradewinds Liquor's in Key Largo on 8/4.

 

Average brown ale. If there's something special going on here, I didn't taste it. This is a decent example of the style, and it's inoffensive, but unremarkable. I like it quite a bit less than Cigar City's Maduro Brown Ale, for example.

 

 

 

 

poured from a 12oz can into a pint glass. no dating could be found ,though there was a weird code on the side 3 11 13 A. doubt it was dating.

pours really nice. very dark brown almost black body with a full tan colored head. this diminishes somewhat, but a head of some form maintains throughout. lacing is minimal.

despite the can promising coffee and chocolate, i couldn't detect either on the nose.

neither of those flavors came through in the taste either, however, the overall taste was quite pleasant.

mouth was between medium and thin.

overall, a completely inoffensive beer and very smooth and drinkable. could see pounding away on a six pack of these.

Pours a dark brown color with tan colored head. Nuts, roasted malts and some hints of dark fruit on the nose; follows onto the palate. Medium bodied. Finishes with nuts and caramel.

 

 

 

Very drinkable! if you like this style give it a try. It's smooth with overtones of coffee and light chocolate. Big head lasted 5 min. Not much aroma but a real smooth ale taste. I could drink a few of these as they go down real easy and don't leave an aftertaste.
