Sweet Potato Farmhouse
Steady Hand Beer Co.

 

 

My brother who lives in Atlanta gave me a 6 pack of beers from local breweries from there. I always like trying beer from other small, regional craft breweries who's stuff doesn't get distributed where I live, so this was a very cool Christmas gift from my brother. Poured out of a 16 oz. can into one of my tulip glasses, this beer pours a slightly cloudy/hazy amber/copper color with a few streams of little bubbles rapidly and continuously rising to the beer's surface. Has a white head that's initially an inch thick when first poured that settles to a thick surface coating of foam and a thick ring lining the inside of the glass. Aromas of some bready, slightly toasted, caramel malt sweetness along with some definite potato and a bit of a rustic, barnyard-esque funkiness. The taste is pretty much the same, with some bready, toasted, caramel malt sweetness that gives way to some potato that adds a nice additional sweetness along with a hint of spice and certainly a note of barnyard funkiness and a slight trace of earthy hops. Has a crisp, slightly prickly, also frothy and even slightly creamy, medium to full bodied mouthfeel with fairly heavy carbonation. Has a good, sweet aftertaste. A pretty good beer here all around. Glad I got the chance to try this. A nice take on this style.
