Release is a stout-black brew topped with a
fluffy nimbus of tan head. It sports an aroma that partners roasted
malts with dry, woodsy hops. Each sip partners roasty notes and a
soupçon of licorice with a robust and faintly spicy bitterness to create
a gloomy (in the most positive sense) ale that I found decidedly
satisfying. It didn't leave me mesmerized, but thoroughly enjoyed my
pint and lamented the lack of a second. It paired beautifully with a
cheap cigar and Lucero's formidable Live from Atlanta album at the end
of a long workweek.
Rating: 8.0 out of 10.
