Intergalactic Gunslinger
R. Shea Brewing - Merriman Valley

 

 

Canned on: 4-5-23

A - Dark brown pour almost black pour with caramel colored lacing.

S - Big chocolate, caramel, pecan aroma that dominates the nose.

T - Follows the nose with a chocolate roast base along with some caramel, and small traces of salt.

M - Big silky body with some throat warming as it slides down the pie hole.

O - Nose is much better than the flavor.

I'm not sure what it is about this brew that is too much for me. OK, I figured it out. Anyway, I can identify with this brew since I am an intergalactic traveler (not a gunslinger but a member of multiple Ka-tets).

It pours like a dull stout. Not a ton of head but a well-made constant fizz. The aroma is a wealth of all that jazz that went into this - caramel is broadcast by the booze. That was pretty trippy, but it translates to being great-smelling but too sweet. They could have tried making it even boozier, perhaps. Like Bozo beer (I had one last week)- it is less sweet than this.

Highly recommended (that's my top rating). Despite my negative comments, this is a brew you want to snatch up quickly. It is a great thick experience and a decent value at $4 and change a can.

This is another solid sweet stout from R. Shea. The caramel kind of dominates but blends with nutty pecan flavor quite well. I don't wanna know how many calories are in these beers but definitely a solid dessert lol
