Lost Cabin Beer Co. Lord Grizzly
What the brewers say
“Rich, complex, malty monster of a beer. Deep ruby, mahogany tones with a light tan head. Earthy, dark fruit with hints of tobacco on the nose. Layers of plum, toffee, fig and molasses with a balanced alcohol profile.”
What our panel thought
Aroma: “Toasty malt with rich caramel and a bit of raisin and graham cracker. A bit of stewed fruits in the background. And smoked malts reminiscent of smoked ham.”
Flavor: “Dark caramel blends nicely with the toasted malt. Once you get past the richness of the caramel, there’s a cooked apple character that is really nice. Some bitterness balances the sweetness, and slides into a creamy finish.”
Overall: “I really like the apple-like finish on this one. It works so well with the caramel and toast qualities from the malt. Just makes me think of fall.”
