Surly Darkness & Stuff
Posted by mike | Filed under news, spirits
First, let me say that yes it’s my birthday, i received a lot of wishes from people on FB, and some nice cards; thanks everyone! So, i guess being 30 feels like 29…never knew. So, i was lucky enough to pick up 6 bottles of Surly Darkness last October on D-Day at the brewery. The last time I’ve had the pleasure to experience this beer was October of last year, on tap at the Muddy Pig. Well, i decided it was time to crack one of these bad boys. Well worth the wait, it is as amazing as i remember. This is still definitely a top 3 beer in my opinion. Liquid chocolate candy bar. Hit the read more link below for an impromptu review.
Feel – Mouthfeel is extremely thick, low carbonation, and leaves a strong aftertaste.
Look – On first pour, about 1 inch of head. Lacing on the glass is beautiful with small bubbles of carbonation. Black and as thick as motor oil.
Smell – Chocolate, cocoa, plumbs, and some citrus are the primary items i can pick out.
Taste – Amazing. Cocoa is the dominator here but items above also come into play. The beer is so complex that my inability to discern everything in it humorous.
So tasty. Anyway, i better finish this post before i finish the bottle or it will go down hill quick.
