Hmmm
... Im confused on two levels. I sampled this beer on tap, on two different occasions, last weekend at Horse Brass Pub in Portland, Oregon.
First level of confusion: My experience (actually our experience, as there were two of us in total agreement regarding this beer) was nothing like that of the previous reviewer. No taste of iron filings, or anything that might be considered metallic like some English hops/beers.
Second level of confusion: What makes this an American Malt Liquor? Perhaps this is a subject I am ignorant of. When I think of American Malt Liquor, I think of moderately high-octane macro-swill. Colt 45, Magnum, etc. If theres a whole category of tasty, craft-brewed, American Malt Liquor that I have not been exposed to, then shame on me.
So, without further Prologue .
Appearance: Cloudy, pale amber, with minimal head and lacing. But a disclaimer Horse Brass is dark.
Aroma: Sweet malt, dark fruit, and very vague whiskey.
Taste: Just like the aroma sweet and malty, minimal hop balancing, fruity, and the slightest suggestion that this beer had spent time in a whiskey, port, or sherry barrel. Im not saying it was barrel aged, but there was something there
Mouthfeel: Medium-full bodied. Sort of soft and slick.
Drinkability: Very smooth and easy to quaff. The only thing that would slow you down here is the desire to savor it, and the 10% ABV.
Conclusion: I would liken this beer more to, say, J.W. Lee's, than to Mickey's Bigmouth.

On tap at the Oregon Brewers Fest.
Out of appx. 40 beers sampled, this was the only one that was truly terrible.
All that really needs to be said is this: tasted like OE with iron filings dissolved (hops gone awry?). Couldn't drink more than the sample if I tried.
Sorry TG, try again.
