Mens Guide to the hood

I am a creature of habit: I like barrel aged stouts. I enjoy a shitty cup of coffee in the morning (8oclock 100% Arabica). I am in bed no later than 11p (unless something is pressing) I wake up at 6am (during the work week sometimes earlier/later on the weekends) I try to play QRank every day (to keep my mind sharp :P) and I always get my haircut at the same place; once every 3 weeks.

Smuttaroni Review



The beer pours with a paper thin white head with zero lacing and crystal clear gold color. Aroma is yeast, light/medium malt, some funky barnyard; it's followed by some citrus and biscuity malt. I can tell, in its prime, this beer would have a bold hop aroma. Cascade? Taste is yeast, light/medium cracker malt, some funky barnyard funk finished with light hop/grapefruit bitterness. Since the brew is 6 months old I can imagine the hop flavor has easily subsided, but I can assume it was bold when fresh. The carbonation is extra high. Very reminiscent of a poorly crafted homebrew but in this case it works. It works well. I would highly recommend trying this interesting craft brew. 
Cheers!

smuttynose - short batch 3 - smuttaroni

Picked up from Greenville Beer Exchange in a generic labeled bottle. Hand written label has the date 11-14-10 on the side. I hear it's funky and know nothing about the style. Looking forward to the pour.
