Sweet and good. Nice mouthfeel. Well perceived alcohol. Generically good. Nothing stood out. Never had this fresh. I think I recall it being not too expensive.

Recipe used for leg of lamb
I used this recipe for a leg of lamb for Super Bowl Sunday. It turned out drier than I like. But I didn’t wind up cooking it myself though I prepared it. It was cooked on high heat instead of low for too long.
1.5 – 2 tbsp cumin
1.5 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp salt
2 tbsp pepper
6 cloves garlic
1 onion
2 limes, juice
.5 cup red wine

It is still pretty hoppy. Quite bitter. Rich mouthfeel. There is a bit of a sour tang that isn’t unpleasant. The alcohol is not well perceived. It is very tasty. The stout base doesn’t come through the hoppiness so it taste a bit like an American Barleywine with the hops. I quite like the lingering bitterness though. It is very different than the sweetness from many big stouts.

The mouthfeel is spot on for a barleywine. It is rich and thick. It isn’t hoppy but it tastes if it used to be. It is bitter but there is a bit of a hop sharpness to the bitterness. Maybe a bit like an older IPA. I like the old hoppiness. It adds complexity.
