I admit, the name of the beer intrigued me more than anything else about it. I've had one or two Full Pint beers before, and as I recall, they were pretty decent, so I grabbed their Festivus:
Vittles:
American Brown Ale
6% abv
Score:
Appearance: 8/10
Aroma: 21/25
Taste: 36/40
Mouthfeel: 8/10
Style: 5/5
Drinkability: 8/10
Overall: 86/100
Impression:
The head is on the thin side, and it didn't seem like there was much carbonation swirling around as I poured -- seemed like it would be mostly flat. The aroma has a nice toasty malt quality with biscuit, caramel, bread, toffee, and spice (cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg) notes. Warmer spices like vanilla come through more as the beer warms, adding an interesting complexity to the brew. The flavors largely match the nose, and they bring some herbal and earthy tones into play. Fairly well balanced overall. The carbonation was lacking, as was the mouthfeel, which can across as medium-light, smooth, and somewhat creamy. I enjoyed this one quite a bit, but I think it would've been better with a little more carb to it.
Cheers!
