Eighth anniversary ale by Surly. — 10 years ago
Chocolate-y brown nose, with malty coffee, caramel and a smidgen of maple and wheat bran. Frothy cappuccino head with sudsy lacing. Wooden, dark-toast entry shows a mousse of some finesse, a rootbeer type character that becomes honeyed, then bakers Choctaw, but always with a sugared black coffee playing shadow. Ends with an expansive, bitter kola nut hangs around to make interesting conversation with your taste buds. Her name is Caryatis, and her wooden demeanor should not be taken as a surly distillation of her character, but merely a symptom of the Sazerac she had for breakfast. — 10 years ago
Solid example of pedigree from a big time vintage. Showing the grace of age with a few surly notes of youth. Oak firm but starting to fade. Delicate herbal notes starting to show. Tobacco, prune and cocoa powder edging to a loosening core of fruit. — 10 years ago
Fantastic! My favorite beer of the Big Texas Brewfest. 3 big time breweries coming together on a special beer. A stout for IPA lovers; heavy roasted malt, dark chocolate, and coffee flavors lightened with a healthy helping of resinous hops. — 11 years ago
