Well it’s Craft beer week 2019. Let’s grab a couple.

I hit Ned Kelly’s Pub for a Revolution Deth by Currant stout.

Poured from tap 54 out the 100. And it’s looks delicious.

Thick tan head with a black body. Nice Ruby highlights.

First thing I get from the aroma is a mix of berries and alcohol.. but not hot like, just a soft alc note to let you know it’s there. Then comes an even softer chocolate. Reminds me of those craft raspberry chocolate bars.

By now the head has gone away except along the edges. But that would be expected with the higher alc.

First sip is exactly what the aromas were. Soft chocolate and berry like but almost no roast.

A silky or oily, but much lighter body than I expected though. But that is good because it plays with the very low bitterness and the low carbonation. And it definitely does not feel like the 13.5% its claiming. This is one dangerously easy drinking beer for sure.

As its now starting to warm a bit I’m getting some raisin/grape, as well as .. vanilla(?) notes in both the taste and aroma.

Is a fairly complex beer that takes a while to give everything up. But that being said.. it’s just doesn’t grab my attention the way I was expecting. If you put Death in the title, there better be something, anything, that jumps out at you.

Then we come to the price point. Again. It’s a nice beer, but to be almost 3x the price of similar tasting beers? Even the 13% doesn’t even it out.

I would surely drink more of these, but you would need to come down a tax bracket on them.

Good beer here. 4/5 untappd
