It was sexy

In Houston with family trying out a beer that I brought from Georgia. Appears orange coming out of the can. Once in the glass it was more of a red copper in color with some haze. Very short and quick lived head. Aroma was surprisingly sour and unpleasant. Flavor is much better. Sweet, soft, with strong notes of a lightly bitter salt water caramel toffee. Mild roasted malt adds to the finish along with a breath of bitter aftertaste. This is a delicious beer, but I am not getting any bourbon or vanilla that is supposed to be the main characteristics. Even the 7.5% alcohol is hidden. I love Amber's and will gladly drink several more of these but the rating is going to suffer from these missing components.

At my son's house having a burrito and an amber cervesa while we watch Thursday night football. Almost no head. Very deep bronze color. Mild malt, some amber notes, a whiff of lime. No effervescence. Totally flat. Yesterdays Modello with ample water added. Nuff said.

Another Duo beer with my son-in-law in Houston. This is a Kennesaw Georgia beer that I took to him and we will rate together. Nice size head but it disappeared pretty quick. Aroma is of charred malt. It has a soft texture but not creamy. The taste again is a strong charred malt with a raw cocoa bitterness. Finish has the same qualities, very dry and over quickly. Overall, I would have thought this is more of a brown ale than an oatmeal stout. Very good but not at all what you would expect.

Bought this beer by mistake. Saw "Give Me Some Sugar" milkshake and assumed it was a stout. IPA? I'm going to try this in my Lone Star Glass which was a gift. Seems appropriate since I've never had Lonestar in a glass and never will. Always directly from the can. Has a tremendously high, frothy head. It's hazy but no particulates, medium yellow color. Strong citrus aroma. Creamy texture and very smooth. Orange peel flavor with a low degree of bitterness. Finish has a calm bitterness also. Could have used a little stronger flavor but it was still much better than I was expecting.
