So last night after doing some resistance training and finishing the book I have been reading I decided to reward myself with a
Magic Hat +/- that I got from a colleague at work. The temperature of the beer was at a freezing 25.3 degrees. I believe I let it in the freezer a tad to long but I thought it was only around 30 minutes so I didn't think it was going to get that cold. I do wish I would have just left it in the fridge though. The head was huge at around 4" with a foamy appearance and a medium color. The head lacing was excellent and the head dissipated slowly. The carbonation was fizzy and it had a normal clarity with a copper color. The taste was that of burnt grain which sounds like it wasn't a good taste but it was really good although I don't know what was up with my nose but I couldn't really detect any aroma to the brew. The flavor was moderate with an average finish length and a watery mouth feel. The tongue hit was towards the middle and the body lacing was excellent. Overall this was an excellent beer and I gave it an A- only because of my issue with it coming to such a could temperature so quickly that I couldn't really experience the true flavor of the beer. Thanks for reading and as always please drink responsibly.
