Cheap growler fill from Timer's in Racine.

Poured into a pair of tulip glasses. it has a rusty copper orange with a light haze. Initial finger of white foam that settles quickly to a wispy skim and ring of bubbles around the edges.

Yeasty, earthy aroma, multigrain bread. Something a bit musty and funky fermentation wise, seems young.

Bready multigrain flavors, light buttered biscuit, yeast. Fairly simple and straightforward. Some light astringency, lightly bitter and sweet, bready and malt forward. A bit watery but drinkable. Overall pretty simple and seems like it could use a bit more hop or fruity yeast esters to give it some dimension.

Paired with cured smoked pork shoulder, wild boar sausage, and prosciutto charcuterie. The sweetness of the beer became more apparent when up against the salty cured meats.

Serving type: growler

3 Sheeps Baaad Boy

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a shaker pint. Served chilled.

A) A very dark brown, with about a finger of light tan head. The head settled to a wispy dusting. A bit of lacing too.

S) Quite a bit of dark roast. It's a bit charred. Light hop bitterness. A hint of dark chocolate as it warms. I didn't pick up much wheat.

T) Plenty of roast and some chocolate characteristics. A bit of wheat in the flavor. Finishes roasty...

M) Pretty light, with a fair amount of sizzle. Not as smooth as advertised. Lingering aftertaste...

O) Not bad, but of the 3 sheeps offerings I've tried, this is my least favorite. I definitely would not go out of my way for it, but that's just like my opinion man... Far out...

Got this during Mad Craft Beer Week, at Buck and badgers. Actually it's the Imperial version "My Name Is Joe": 7.7% ABV, brewed with local coffee roasted especially for this brew according to the bartender.

Beautiful pour in a goblet, black-brown, with an off-white fluffy head that leaves a permanent lacing stuck on the glass. Aroma is burnt coffee and a sweet something.

In the mout iit's all iced coffee, sweetened as if with sugar from the table. Refreshing on the tongue, medium to light body, with the perfect sharp carbonation.

Serving type: on-tap

A - Deeper brown with lighter brown highlights and a thin tan head.

S - Lightly roasted malt, multigrain bread, light hints of chocolate and coffee.

T - Multigrain bread and lightly toasted bread followed by light coffee and chocolate notes. Slightly yeasty in the finish.

M - On the light side but it plays well with the roasty/toasty notes. Good carbonation.

D - Nicely balanced and easy drinking.

Pretty good stuff that'd be a lot better if not so cold. Served with a smallish, tan, foamy, thick, creamy head that slowly settled and lots of sheeting lace. Color is an opaque brown black. Aroma is malt and roast. Flavor's like nose, with good balance between bitter, sweet, and tang. Body and carbonation are good. Finish is like flavor, slightly long, and very drinkable. Again there'd be a lot more interesting things here if it weren't so cold. Still, good stuff.

12 oz bottle poured into a Bruery tulip.
5.5% ABV, 13 IBUs

(Bottles are pending label approval and are expected to hit market early-to-mid fall.)

A - Baaad Boy pours a clear rich mahogany color that is near pitch black in the tulip; Baaad Boy is the black sheep of the bunch! The beer is topped by a light sandy Sahara foam that dots the glass in specks of lace and rests on the black brew with a loose collar.

S - Roasted malt opens with a strong coffee aroma followed by dark chocolate bunny ears. Hints of ash tray-like smokiness linger in the air of this roasted-yet-delicate beer. Nothing else really comes through, but it's got an inviting nose of maltiness.

T - Soft wheat is all but overpowered in this roasty American Dark Wheat Ale. Plenty of chocolate and coffee comes fourth without being too porter-like but it still seems to completely control the flavor with little interaction from other aspects. Faint yeast earthiness reminds of the clay attributes found in 3 Sheeps Cirque du Wit but this is as far as the depth goes.

M - The roasted quality, while tasting delicious, takes over a bit too much in flavor. The mouthfeel, however, shines wonderfully as the wheat softens - takes the edge off the roast nicely. Very little bitterness comes through, but the roast also finishes out dry for a clean, crisp-like swallow which immediately has you tilting the pint back for another sip.

O - Baaad Boy's bold aroma suggests, a little more delicately and balanced, the amount of roast malt used in it's process but the flavor doesn't incorporate the same level of balance. Remaining medium-bodied and lower in alcohol content, Baaad Boy offers a dark-tasting beer without the filling feeling a heavier stout might produce. A fine start at a dark beer for 3 Sheeps!
