OKOCIM MOCNE MALT LIQUOR

Bitterly dank corn malts corrupt syrupy butterscotch-sourdough pleasantry and fizzy-hopped lemony sourness of steadied yeast-sinewed moderate body. Honeyed raisin-fig acridity falls short to watery carbolic finish. Commonplace, flat, and not nearly as strong as 7% malt liquor indicator. But at $1.99 for 22 ounces, it’s a prudent investment for slumming lager heads.

DOGFISH HEAD LIQUOR DE MALT

Innovative brewer takes on uniquely challenging goal of making worthy malt liquor (sans customary nasty alcohol astringency) from gourmet milled corn. Encased in a paper bag, this massive plastic-capped 40-ounce bomber bottle contains well-balanced honeyed liquid securing sugar caned caramelized oat frontage. Secondary red cherry, bruised orange, and overripe grape concision backs thin barleywine illusion subtly embittered by floral hop spicing.
