Agreed that it doesn't need a Choklat/Creme Brulee level of sweetness. I was actually at the brewery and the guy there said they're going to brew another batch and age in bourbon barrels, which in my experience, usually mellows out some of the big roast character and would probably make this seem more like a 'smore beer...Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07223822521762072612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7209567605132423964.post-758589166900123482012-09-20T13:45:00.570-04:002012-09-20T13:45:00.570-04:00No worries about self-promotion, don't mind at...No worries about self-promotion, don't mind at all and I'll check it out.<br /><br />Agreed on the S'mores and, yeah, I think if it was sweeter, though not like Choklat or Creme Brulee sweet, it would probably represent itself a bit better. I know this batch came out at a lower ABV than they expected so future batches will probably taste slightly different as they work through recipes.<br /><br />And yeah Firestone Walker is awesome, no question there.Rich Isaacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05356872043234492112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7209567605132423964.post-26484551123580911902012-09-20T13:39:21.923-04:002012-09-20T13:39:21.923-04:00I recently tried the Leon 'smore beer too, and...I recently tried the Leon 'smore beer too, and came away with similar thoughts - dominated by roast, not quite what I expected from a 'smore beer (I assumed it would be sweeter, more chocolate and caramel than roast coffee). With apologies for blatant self-promotion, I wrote about it here:<br />http://beer.kaedrin.com/2012/08/neshaminy-creek-leon.html<br /><br />Lot 6 is excellent and something I want to try more of. This is a great description: "like bitter orange juice except in a good way". Picked up a bottle of Lot 3 and am excited to give it a shot.<br /><br />Definitely interested in seeing what comes out of both Neshaminy Creek and Evolution. (And, for that matter, Firestone Walker, but everyone loves them!)Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07223822521762072612noreply@blogger.com
