Black Bulldozer's Debut

Hear ye, hear ye.  Black Bulldozer, my Texas Imperial Black IPA offering, has arrived just in time for the weekend! 

Here are the stats:

1. This is a BIG beer.  Temperature corrected OG was 1.092, and it finished at a beautiful 1.019, which by my calculations make it around 9.7% ABV. Hold on to your hats!
2. The nose is all American hops with a piney, floral, resinous head with the slightest roasted malt sweetness.
3. On the palate, this sucker is like technicolor!  In the front, the floral hoppy bite is assertive but not astringent. That gives way into malty carmel, toffee, raisin and dark chocolate, with a little dark fruit ester from the ale yeast and 68F fermentation temp.  The beer finishes dry and clean, with lingering coffee and dark chocolate. VERY complex, and a must- try.

A few of these and you'll be singing carols to the dog.  Just ask Dozer.  It'll be on tap Saturday for the Gumbo Party.

Cheers!
