Beer of the Week: Terrapin Guano Loco

Again, a Phil review and yes, again, it's slightly stout/porter/dark beer heavy.

This week, my choice for beer of the week is Terrapin's Guano Loco. Guano Loco is a Brown Ale sprinkled with Ancho Chili Peppers. And it's good, damn good.

Brewer: Terrapin Brewing (Athens, GA)

Name: Guano Loco (Side Project 23)

Style: Spiced Brown Ale

A.B.V: 8.6%

Thoughts: This is really good. We've had several spicy ale's, most of which were overwhelmed with the pepper flavor.

This one is not.

Ancho Chili Peppers give it the zing, but they are in perfect balance with the chocolate and brown malts. I had this beer at a Taco Mac location and it made for a really good mix with the Hot Roasted Chicken Wings.

Our Rating: (1-5)

4--If you like a slight spice twist in your beer, this is for you. If you like Brown Ale with a twist, this is for you. Really enjoyed this beer and will come back and revisit it.

Brewmaster Spike Buckowski and the Terrapin team outdid themselves on this one.

Cheers!
