Blue Blood 1335 Wicked Snout

Another fine ale from our former law enforcement friends at Blue Blood. I had the privilege of trying this baby out straight out of the barrel - and once again at the Lazlo's last night (some kind of confusion between "snout and "stout" - it was stout & porter night). Wicked Snout is a Farmhouse Ale, sometimes called a Saison. I find them to be quite delicious, but frankly, more of a late Spring and early Summer brew than wintry. It poured a butterscotchy yellow, with a one finger snowy head, the aroma is reminiscent of apricots; the taste adds a subtle sweetness with overtones of tropical fruit, mangoes and white grapes. It goes down smooth - I look forward to many more.
