Year of New Beer (Rnd 1): Barrel Roll No. 3 Pugachev's Cobra, Hangar 24 Brewery (CA)

Written By: Dion on 08/22/2015

It's a beautiful thing when the incredible aroma of a beer translates to the tongue without dropping in its intensity. For this one, it's all here...chocolate that's almost fudge-like, coffee, bourbon soaked oak essence, and a wonderfully integrated alcohol heat. Unbelievable for a 18% (or more) beer. Vanilla and hints of maple add to the sweetness. This is one of the best beers I've had this year.
