Beer Tasting: Smaltz Brewing Company He'Brew Messiah Bold
This is a brown ale from Shmaltz Brewing Company of Saratoga Springs, New York. You can tell there are bunch of creative folks here coming up with names like Genesis Ale, Jewbelation Ale, and Messiah Bold. And, as they remind us: "Do not store fresh beer in saddle bags of white donkey. Store cold!" L'Chaim!!
Have you tasted this beer? Let us know what you think. As a suggestion, try to keep the review as brief as possible for each of the following: appearance; smell; taste; mouthfeel; and drinkability.
Appearance
Adam: deep amber, quickly disapating head
Bryan: deep dark brown/almost black with a tight, off-tan head
Smell
Adam: slightly sweet and yeasty
Bryan: not much when cold; much more grainy as it warms
Taste
Adam: just what the nose hinted with nuttiness too
Bryan: slightly sweet malt flavor with hints of hops and a mild carbonation
Mouthfeel
Adam: well carbonated and clean
Bryan: a decent, even moutfeel throughout
Drinkability
Adam: clean and carbonated and interesting, very drinkable
Bryan: drinkable, for sure, as it warms into the 50-55 degree range
Seconds?
Adam: sure maybe even thirds ;-)
Bryan: yes, a few

I've tried the light and the dark and both taste good. Smooth. I'm looking to buy these again if I can find them in a store.
