Beer "387. Special Cooking" appeared in 2014. The numerical name is given to the beer for a reason - each figure has a special meaning and reveals the technology used in the brewing process:

• 3 - these are three kinds of malt: light, caramel and burnt;
• 8 - is eight hours of cooking in traditional copper vats; and
• 7 - is seven days of continuous fermentation.

A: The beer is crystal clear amber in color and has a moderate to high amount of carbonation. It poured with a finger high dense white head that died down, leaving a large patch of bubbles covering nearly all of the surface, a collar around the edge, and some lacing near the bottom edges of the glass.
S: Light aromas of cooked corn, alcohol, and rock candy are present in the nose.
T: The taste has flavors of pale malts and rock candy/malt extracts along with some hints of alcohol in the finish.
M: It feels just about medium-bodied and a little smooth and clean on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer seems like a hybrid between a malt liquor and an Euro Strong Lager. It's not overly difficult to drink because the smell and taste of alcohol is not that strong, but it doesn't really have any interesting flavors.

Pours clear hazel color with 1 finger tall head decreasing slowly and leaving good lacing. The smell is sweet, something like caramel sugar and lemon flavored hard candy. The taste is flat a bit sweet, a bit sour with faint malty finish. Too much carbonation along with alcohol make very bad mouthfeel. Really needs some food pairing. Avoid it.
