Apr 25, 2008 Draft, Baja Bean, Staunton VA. Brown with tan head. Aromas of vegetal hops and sweet dark caramel malt. Malt-forward flavors of brown sugar and tangy bread, with enough hops bitterness and flavor to keep it from being relegated to the generic "brown ale" moniker. Tasty, very drinkable, but a bit one-dimensional. Come on, it’s Zappa, throw me somethin’ _weird_!

Apr 25, 2008 22 oz bomber: Pours a copperish color with ruby tones and a small tan head. Has a roasty sweet hoppy aroma. Malty flavor is bready, sweet, with some spices thrown in. Has a mild bitter finish that is refreshing.

Apr 24, 2008 22 oz bottle. Really nice ruby red with decent head on the pour. Aromas were sweet fruit hops. Flavors were more malty with still hoppy citrus on the finish. Not too bad.

Apr 22, 2008 Gotta love Frank Zappa beers, although I don’t think is one of Lagunitas’ best. It’s a nice malty beer, with a slight sweet/scotch ale flavor to it. Very drinkable.

Apr 19, 2008 Very nice looking - dark orange thick fluffy and rocky head. Nutty bread dough aroma along with some sweet bock-like notes of brown sugar, raisins. Palate is smooth, rich, malty, with some pine. Very impressive. I don’t get the booziness others noted.

Apr 19, 2008 Bottle. Pours a murky brownish color with an off-white head. Nose is roasted and sweet. Flavor is very coffee. Admitedly, not one of my favorite beer nuances and not one that I was anticipating here. I guess they liked a little suagr in their coffee as there was a caramely sweetness. but the bitterness of the brew shown through as well. Clearly, not one of my favorites at all.

Apr 19, 2008 Pours a nice clear copper with a small tan head. Semi-sweet aromas of caramel, molasses, and alcohol. Flavor is mostly of roasted caramel, with a solid backbone of bitter/herbal hops, a good bit of peppery spice towards the finish, and a bit of alcohol. Palate is medium/full, spicy, resinous, and boozy.

Apr 19, 2008 Clear amber with lots of... is this right? Did I actually scribble down "floating bubbles"??? Smells like a hospital, no wait... maybe like someone’s skin? What in the heck is wrong with my nose? Taste is fruity but a little spicy. Thin, an easy strong ale.
