    California: The Hairy Eyeball, Lagunitas, Petaluna

    I found this at Bessettes yesterday as I was roaming a corner of northern New York for something to do. Not much to go on from the label other than it's 8.83% and comes from a pretty dependable source. They even planted their own hopyard. I know I've had the Brown Shugga and Hop Stoopid but I don't seem to have noted it. I am such a bad blogger. Maybe I traded them for meat.

    It pours a clear mohogany with a fine clingy mocha head. On the nose, yeasty molasses. Very deep and malty like a cross between a Scotch export and a Belgian dark strong. But, then, eucalyptus or tobacco hopping cuts the glom followed by another sort of hop, more black tea. The malt has a swell fruitiness - date and a little nod of black cherry.

    High BAer respect. Apparently a hairy eyeball is giving giving a dirty look.
