Tonight's beer: Uinta (Crooked Line) Port o'Call
Dark vinous fruits—grapes, plums, maybe cherries and dates and figs—layered on toasted dark bread; caramel around the edges. Peaty-earthy bitterness arises gently through the middle, with threads of baking spices, tobacco, and ash. Emerges gradually toward dry, with re-emerging vinous notes.
A bit lighter than medium-bodied, with good-to-excellent carbonation. A little thin stickiness hangs around. Gently drying, eventually quite refreshing. Nicely cleansing, with alarmingly little alcohol presence for 6.4% ABV.
A very tasty Belgian-style beer, nicely augmented by the time it spent in Port barrels—however long that was. Intense as hell and staggeringly complex, nicely balanced and superbly well-integrated. Distressingly drinkable. Uinta's Crooked Line beers continue to come up almost uniformly excellent.
