Laguinitas Brewing Company's Gnarleywine

You know how small equipment with four cycle engines use oil that's not black, but it's kind of amber to orange? That's how this pours, almost.

Smells great, too. Big head that thins but stays, and a smell that doesn't quit. Strong, grassy hops with big, sweet malt.

Well, the 10.85% ABV makes it a little sharp, but otherwise it's a nice beer. Not as good as I was hoping early on, but it has a big body and strong bitterness that stays for quite a while. This bomber will probably be the only one I have tonight, so I hope it slows down a bit as it warms.
