Abita brewery is from 30 miles north of New Orleans Louisiana. They started as a brew pub seating only 100 and has grown to a large 62,000 barrel brewery. I've heard a lot of good things about the brewery and will look for other beer from them.
This beer has malt and caramel aroma, with a little hop and alcohol smell. The color is a clear brown, almost the color of the bottle the beer came in. This beer has a thick head of foam, that risked over flowing the glass when I poured it, and the foam has a good staying power.
This beer has a harsh tannin taste, that is a lot like the beer from yesterday. The taste is grainy, biscuit like, with hints of coffee. The finish is very dry, leaving a harsh taste at the back of my mouth. The mouthfeel is foamy and smooth, maybe the best part of the beer.
I am not too crazy about this beer. It is a lot like yesterday's beer, too much malt, and dry with tannins.
