Abita Pecan Harvest Ale

Name:  Abita Pecan Harvest Ale
Brewery: Abita Brewing Company
Style:  Amber Ale
Location: Abita Springs, Louisiana
Alcohol:  5%

Quotes:  "Mmmmm, pie.  No, wait.  It doesn't taste like pie."  "I expected to vomit, but here we are."  "Weird.  The label says pecans are involved..."

Aroma:  3/10, Doesn't smell like pecans.  Disappointing.  But doesn't smell like dirt, so...
Appearance:  4/5, Good, thick head.  So amber it's almost orange, like this little chump.
Taste:  5/10, Kind of plain.  Doesn't smell like pecans, doesn't taste like pecans. Has a picture of a pecan on the label with the word "Pecan".  Lies.
Palate:  2/5, Pretty uninspiring.
Overall: 14/30

In closing:  Everything from the label to the color of this ale has you expecting pecans.  One sniff, one taste and you'll glance back at the label to make sure you didn't misread pecan as pecan't.  Har.  It's marketed as being one of few pecan beers made with actual pecans.  I guess actual pecans don't make beer taste like pecans.

Good for:  Testing your nut allergy without the aftertaste.

DuClaw Sweet Baby Jesus!

Name:  Sweet Baby Jesus!
Brewery:  DuClaw Brewing Company
Style: Porter
Location:  Baltimore, Maryland
Alcohol:  6.5%

Quotes:  "SWEET TITTY FUCKING BABY JESUS!" 

Aroma:  10/10, Smells like Reese's pieces
Appearance:  4/5, short head
Taste:  7/10, Chocolate and peanut butter.  Delicious.  But could have been better.
Palate:  3/5, A little dry but aight.
Overall:  24/30

In closing:  Chocolate and Peanut Butter are the best duo since Pippen-Jordan.  This Porter almost overwhelms the senses with the combination and if it only tasted as good as it smelled it would get more fan fare.  If you see this on a beer menu, try it. 

Good for:  People with Type-2 diabetes who have been missing out.
