Odin DBRD Tasting: Two Brothers 17th Anniversary Ale

2014-05-08

Logs for this tasting

Tasted very interesting and fresh at first, but the basil flavor quickly overstays its welcome and creates a really unpleasant bitter taste.
So strange. Tropical fragrance, like dried papaya or pineapple, leading into a more caramel, bitter body. Lactic, smooth, but astringent buzz on the tongue, closing with a kind of dishwater taste that probably comes from the Thai Basil. Overall, it seemed like a decent idea that needed a few more iterations to get right, but it's hard not to respect the audacity.
