Best beer so far in the Zappa series, hella malty and darker than the other previous Zappa beers. Pretty decent winter style beer. I almost liked it better in the bottle than off draft. I might try aging some of this to see how does. Zappa was crazy as fuck and I hope the next beer in the Zappa series is also CRAZY AS FUCK!!!! Good beer but could be better...

pours a shine amber with brown highlights and nice than persistent head leaving really nice lacing. Nose of nice caramel a touch of alcohol and some dates in the aroma. Tastes really similar to what is smells like - caramel with spicy and pithy hope flavor. Mouthfeel: Medium bodies with a creamy notes Finish is dry, creamy and lingers for a bit with some spicy hop flavor and caramel notes. Overall: For a limited release comes across as a huge amber with accent on dark crystal malts saving grace being the hops are present to eliminate the cloying effect. Methinks the caramel notes make it hard to enjoy a full pint of this...Skips along the line of being a little brother to a barleywine - feels stronger in alcohol than the 7.2% - some aging may make it like an old ale or little brother of the Gnarlywine.

Smells of nice strong malts and alcohol. Pours a dark amber color with a thick brown head. Taste is bitter hops with a nice light malt flavor. Very tasty

Too much malt. Way heavy thick beer. Sure there are some flavors in there that pop out but it’s not fun to drink more than a glass of this.

Pours a dark reddish brown colour with a medium sized off white head. Aroma is noticeably nutty, light biscuit malts. I found the taste to be very pleasent, not that stroner- a lighter mouthfeel with semi sweet flavors of trail mix, carmel and peanut butter.

Very smooth and drinkable. A well-balanced beer with flavors of caramel, peat, and a touch of hoppy bitterness.
