Turbo Dog

The Beer Stats:
  • Beer Name: TurboDog
  • Brewery: Abita Brewing Company (Louisiana)
  • Style: Brown Ale
  • ABV: 5.6%
  • IBU:28
  • Pour Color: Brown color till held up and it gets a dark red look. Light travels through Easy.




      This had a nice head that seemed to pop up and disapear quick. It held it's ground at the edges of the beer for the rest of the pint. Easily came back out of the hairs! The scent was a nice caramel and roasted coffee scent. Didn't get to big a wiff of hops. The first thing you taste is the caramel and the coffee in this one. A nice kick of chocolate is there too. You also get a nice kick of raisin from the hops I would imagine. A really weird ballence that works fairly well. 
      Been away for awhile, but found a fairly good one to come back on. Abita has a strawberry ale that's great so when we saw a brown ale, one of the Face's favorite, we had to try it. The clear taste of raisin is not something I had expected from a brown ale. Really added a nice character. All and all this was a really good brown ale!
