Gunning for Clint
According to Cameron’s, the gentleman on the can is a tenacious style warrior. Not to be confused with Jack Black’s Tenacious D, this tenacious W looks more like one of the biker gang out to get Clint in the movie “Every Which Way but Loose”. Then again, in hockey there are more than a few tenacious warriors with crooked noses. This particular warrior looks like a Viking and those old time Norsemen were known to drink a few ale and beer back in the day.
On Ice Tenacious Warrior with a Crooked Nose
Back to present day and pouring a nice stout. Rich, black and thick, a thin tan helmet, no horns. My own crooked nose has been giving me mixed signals lately, lets see how it does tonight. A roasted malt and cocoa aroma, not what I would call complicated, classic stout. First quaff is a nice roasted barley malt and cocoa finish, a thick pour but a watery mouthfeel makes for an easy drinking stout. No harshness or bitters. It has a sweet finish, coffee marked absent first swig. A big swig reveals a touch of coffee too. A smooth sweet stout, low caffeine, high cocoa content. Not balanced but I don’t think it’s trying to be.
An easy drinking stout, not too sweet but not too subtle either, but I wouldn’t call it tenacious. It would appeal to chocolate lovers and those with a sweet tooth.
