Lagunitas Wilco Tango Foxtrot

"A Malty Robust Jobless Recovery Ale" is a pretty accurate description of this one. Lagunitas classifies this velvety, deep and dark brew as an imperial brown, which isn't a style you see around too often. It's got a piney scent with a raisiny, malty, brown sugary taste and has a nice bite to the apple and hops tinged finish. It's something like a sweeter, prunier Newcastle with a splash more booze and hops. It's probably not the type of girl you'd usually date, but she's fairly unique and generous enough where it matters to give her a whirl. (B+)
