Bad Sons Beer Co.
Impression
I totally get why Bad Sons is so popular; I just wish the quality of their beers matched the style of their taproom. HUGE brewery & tasting room. Logo is a hophead with a Grateful Dead face - nice touch. Old 19th century shop machines integrated into design of room. Pool table in back. Lights are old filament bulbs. A little too dark, but one of the coolest tap rooms in Connecticut.
Beers Tasted
Beer 1: Loompa Strawberry Sour (? abv) Very subtle strawberry flavor. Not very effervescent. Good. Not great.
Beer 2: Hopskull American Pale Ale (? abv) Very milky & frothy appearance. Bartender explained that it was "fresh from the brewery today." Very low flavor and carbonation. I frankly didn't like this beer at all.
Beer 3: Mahogany Shoals American Amber (? abv) Some coffee taste. Again - low carbonation. Nice, rich amber color, but disappointing on the palate. Like a weak coffee porter.
Beer 4: Mechanical Milkman Nitro Milk Stout (? abv) Some cow-patty brett, but no carbonation, and very attenuated roast. Meh.
