A few swallows and the beer get better very strong lime beer

Staying in a rental next door to Whiskey River Ranch. Family crowded into one house. Great if I don't kill someone while trying to rate a beer. An interesting stout from McKinney Texas. Heavy pour, head is thick and meringue like. Chocolate aroma, more like a milk chocolate. Not near as heavy as expected, but still smooth. The coconut arrives first, not the dreaded artificial stuff that ruins so many. Dry dark cocoa combines violently, taking over the flavor with a parched, caulked quality. Only late in the finish does the 12.1% alcohol begin to show up. Ends up with a very boozy, coconut and cocoa chocolate finale. I had reservations on the first couple of sips but this is one of those beers that grows on you. By the time I finished it, I decided that it's pretty darn good.

Okay beer sweet beer

Seems like all my beers lately have been Duos with my son-in-law. This is another Texas Mexican style lager. It has almost no head and very little effervescence. Looks flat. Very pale yellow color. Faint aroma of sour lime. Doesn't have much flavor. Tastes like corn cereal with a small squeeze of overripe lime. Tart finish that turns dry. I didn't enjoy any of this beer. From start to finish it had no positive traits. Just not a good beer.

At the 2011 San Antonio Beer Festival. Fun day with my son-in-law. At 12.8% this is a little stronger than their normal on tap brew. Full brown head. Wow this is excellent. Heavy and creamy texture. An abundance of pumpkin, nutmeg, spice, and a relatively acceptable alcohol burn during the finish. Great beer.
