Lowing Cow
Otto's Pub and Brewery

DATE: September 20, 2024... OCCASION: rewatching the Rings of Power before the newest episode is on with a beer bought while visiting brother Jer--another Otto's offering to be enjoyed... pours a hazy, thickly orange amber body that holds a staunch pillowed white head... its lacing is thick coral and high tide... puckering orange tinges the aroma, while the lactose makes for a milky dessert suggestive of egg nog... heavy and affecting without any alcohol rub... draws smooth and thick, a dessert-like consistency finishing with a lasting weight... sippable and worth mulling over... its flavor heavily favors orange, vanilla ice cream, light herbs, and hints of mint or menthol... this is a tight ale that works in the summer and fall equally well... its ABV puts it in a place for a long night of drinking with a robust flavor profile...
