Comments on: Sip with us Saturday: Review of Brother Thelonious http://thankheavenforbeer.com/2009/03/22/sip-with-us-saturday-review-of-brother-thelonious/ We love beer, we thank heaven. Begrudgingly, we admit we are not the authority on all things "beer," but we know our fair share. Enjoy the good brew with us; correct us where we're wrong.

It is always done with care. On the one side it is to tell you that there is something great inside. On the other side, it tells you the same thing but deceptively. Your last statement is true.

I agree...the grape/wine quality was pronounced. I'll have to try it in a twelve ounce to see if there is a difference, but while I picked up on the hop/bitter finish, the sweet malt flavor stuck with me more at the end. I thought it was a great beer overall. I am glad you mentioned the bottle art. I enjoy it when a brewery puts time and thought into the aesthetics--it builds my anticipation for what's inside, and this one was exceptional. But, a gross beer in a beautiful bottle is a let down, so it ought to be done with care! I drank this one corked.
