Beer of the Week

The beer: No Sparge

Brewed by: Taxman Brewing Company, Bargersville, Indiana

Description (from the website): "No sparging, sprinkling, diluting or extra water here. We loaded our mash tun to the brim with 1.5 tons of delicious Belgian malt, mashed it once and took only the first (and best) runnings. Sure, it might be downright inefficient, but it also creates a uniquely smooth, rich and robust malty body to complement the intense, tropical flavors of our farmhouse yeast. Procure this ale while you can, before our accountants found out what we did."

Would I buy it again?: Don't believe all that stuff about the malty body and complementing tropical flavors. Okay, you can believe it, but the dominating taste in this beer is alcohol. Which I suppose isn't terribly surprising, considering we're talking about a 12% golden ale, but still, I was surprised how strong the alcohol taste was. I'd buy it again, but not for the taste, if you catch my meaning.
