Starr Hill Snow Blind

Tonight's beer:

Starr Hill Snow Blind


Opens toasty and nutty, toffee-caramel sweet; earthy-grassy bitterness starts in the distance and approaches gradually—almost diffidently. Traces of dark fruit, brown sugar, maple around the edges; after a long moment, the beer begins edging dryward.

A bit thicker than medium-bodied, decently carbonated. Softly bready-chewy, then substantial stickiness asserts itself. Smooth, gradually drying.

A truly delicious doppelbock, pretty convincingly true to style. Linear and straightforward but intense and pretty complex for the style; nicely balanced and very well-integrated. Amazingly drinkable. I don't get many of these people's beers, which is something I should probably correct.
