Beers with a "leather" flavor?

I love that flavor in Adam as well, and have yet to find it in another brew. I think it comes largely from the peat smoked malt, which is rare in beers. Although it is not traditional, many American brewers use peat smoked malts in Scotch ales (eg Great Divide Claymore). I haven't gotten a leather flavor from these beers, but you might want to give them a go.

 

Dark Horse Aigre Plead the 5th is crazy leathery. Something about how the sour comes together with the stout

 

Leather lips ipa

 

Smoked Malts, funky yeast, and generous amounts of hops. Let it age and wow...

 

JW Lees and Thomas Hardys
I've also noticed Aventinus Eisbock shares similar qualities with HOTD Adam.

 

Madhouse Maple Nut Brown.

 

I think hair of the dog is most likely the best example, and allen sprints actually most likely the best brewer out there. his beers just take all the flavors im looking for, swirl them around and BOOOOOM!! tastes like barrel leather prune fig juice... RIght up in your dome!

 

vintage, aged MoaS has that quality, circa 2008 or so...once the heat dies down. Of course, it was labeled Perfect Storm back then, but the same beer...

 

Bruery anniversary beers (especially Coton and Cuir) and Oude Tart.

 

definitely Pannepot, but in a good way. It's maybe the closest thing to Adam I can think of, yet it's still totally different and delicious.

 

I think Abacus does with about 4-6 mo age on it

 

From my review notes I have leather notes in Melange 3, Monster 29, and BA stout trooper.

 

Le Coq Imperial Stout (if it's still around...). Man, that one used to hit me with big-time saddle leather right away.

 

I got a lot of leather from Victory Red Thunder. It was actually really good.

 

I most often get leather notes in Flemish reds. Avery Oud Floris and HaandBryggeriet Haandbakk (take that spell check!) come to mind as recent examples.

 

I remember Matt having a leather, smoky flavor. Which doesn't sound appealing to me, but it was awesome.

the newest batch of Cherry Adam was super leathery, almost too much so for me.

 

Leatherface Bourbon Leather Ale - give it a go.
