Turbodog
Abita Brewing Co.

 

looks a nice dark brown, smells warm and toasty, like a winter smell, pretty lacy, had a nice head that dissipated
taste like a malted chocolate , feels like something enjoyed in the late autumn and winter

 

Poured from 12-ounce bottle into a tulip glass. Deep chestnut brown, with a tan three-finger head. Good retention and lacing. Aromas and flavors of roasty malt, caramel, chocolate, dark bread, and dried fruit. Lots of pleasant bitterness on the palate. Great carbonation, medium bodied. This finishes dry with a lingering hint of sourness. Pleasant sipper, good with food. Recommended.

 

 

 

1/30/2023 - Coffee colored, not much head; The flavor is mild and unremarkable; The mouthfeel is not bad. The Turbodog package is more appealing that the actual beer.

3/6/2023 - a decent tan head that receded into a cap, looked pretty good, raised look score to 4.0. The mouthfeel also was pretty good, raised feel score .25 to 4.0

 

Mahogany with a 1.5" tan head, which lasts. Heavy lacing.

Aroma of nuts, roast malt, coffee, light caramel.

Taste is nutty, light caramel, light roastiness, coffee, light hops.

Medium body, light carbonation. dry finish.

One of the better English Browns I've had.

 

 

 

Saw that Aldi had the Aldus Blonde that I was looking for, so I pulled on my Adidas, jumped in my Audi and headed down only to find they had sold out. But I did manage to pick up this Abita instead.

Clear dark brown appearance with a small tan head. Chocolate malt aroma. Earthy, roasted malt, decently hopped flavor. Well carbonated, medium-bodied mouthfeel but lacking in depth and complexity. Still a bargain.

This beer picked up where Brooklyn Brown left off.
Deeply brown color with a pale, tan head that has good legs.
The aroma is sweet and malty with hints of cocoa and roasted grains.
Flavor is solid brown ale boardering on porter - full of chocolate malt and mildly hopped.
Not bitter but hops are there for "brown ale" type balance.
Overall, maybe the best beer Abita makes tho I have not tried all their smaller run seasonals.

 

Pours dark amber. Thick tan foam. Malty aroma. Sweet caramel body. Roasted malt finish. Not too sweet. A decent brown ale.

 

Look: Almost black, with brown highlights at the bottom of the glass. One finger of fizzy off-white head with poor retention.

Smell: Faint, dark caramel malt.

Taste: Light toasted malt, some biscuity lightness rather than the typical coffee notes. A bit of stone fruit. Very mild bitterness.

Mouthfeel: Thick and highly carbonated.

Overall: A basic, pleasant dark ale.

A darker brown ale that's kind of halfway between a normal brown ale & porter.
