Yazoo Dos Perros

Brewed by Yazoo Brewing Company
Style: Altbier
Nashville, Tennessee USA

This was purchased at the Andrew Jacson home outside Nashville. The inital tatse reminded me of Anchor Steam beer. The dark color and malty aroma was your first intro to this ale. It has a medium body and some malty sweetness. The finish was smooth.

once again a good brew from Yazoo.I wish this was offered at my favorite local Mexican restaurante.caramel, brown, clear, white foam, aminimal head, medium sweetness, lightly bitter, lightly sour, light body, thin feel, average carbonation, I like this beer goes goo by itself or with just about any meal. Think I will have one tonight!Yor can find this on tap at jim and nicks bbq on germantown pkwy in Memphis.

12 oz bottle from dECATURSTEVO (thanks!).Pours a dark copper/brown with a small beige head. Nose is malty, nutty and vanilla. Taste is very nice, this one is mostly about the malts. Chocolate, vanilla, corn, almonds and honey. Some subtle floral hops in the finish...but very subtle. Body is light/medium, carbonation is high. I am surprised at how delicious this beer is!

This alt bier pours a deep cooper gold color from a 12oz bottle. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is roasty malts, chocolate and earthy. A medium bodied alt beer. Malts are caramel, slightly bready and chocolate. Hops are slightly earthy. Nice balance. Perhaps a touch thin, maybe. Carbonation is good. Nice beer, it has enough flavor to be interesting, yet its mainstream enough for a BMC drinker. Mouthfeel is a touch thin. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

This seemed to be a popular choice in town, but I wasn’t overly impressed. Had that bland, soury taste that really ruins a beer like this. Despite its faults, I managed to drink my fill of this brew in Nashville.

5/03/2007: Yazoo Dos Perros has a clear dark brown color. The aroma has toasted malts and faint hops. Tastes like a somewhat typical dark lager. It is smooth and easy to drick with a light to medium-light body. Drinkable, but nothing special. An altbeir? Hardly... 12 oz bottle (Bottled on Nov 3, 2006) from decaturstevo. Thanks Stevo! Shared with Tmoney99 at Mainstrasse Village Pub in Covington, Kentucky.

12 oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Not sure what to expect from this one. The note on the packing suggests its a Vienna-style lager yet it also clearly states it is an ale. Reddish-brown with thin white head. Aroma is of chocolate and yeast rolls. Taste is sweet with a roasted edge but a minimal of esters. Where are the hops? The body is quite thin and the finish is indistinct. Let’s put it this way, if this beer was offered at my local Mexican restaurant, I would order it with my meal but otherwise it’s unimpressive.

Bottle from decaturstevo. Thanks Steve. Pours a clear brownish amber with a small fizzy off white head. There was a slight malty aroma with a hint of citrus there as well. Very easy to drink, light body and no off flavors. There is a malty sweetness with some citrus in the finish. I don’t get much bitterness at all, except late in the finish.
