Green Flash (AHahhhhh!) Grand Cru

I have never seen the "green flash" following a sunset, but I suppose it exists. I have also not seen "Flash" the superhero, though that stands to reason. This beer isn't as extraordinary as either of these things, but neither of them can get you sloshed, so maybe the Grand Cru isn't so bad after all.

I didn't expect the intensity of the darker malts in this, but they do well to balance the alcohol. There's a good deal of chocolate and a secondary coffee bean aftertaste, though neither are overwhelming. It's kind of like a strong brown. Carbonation is regular enough, though I prefer Grand Crus with a bit more similarity to Golden Strongs. I may find a reason to drink this again, maybe at the Green Flash Brewery near SD sometime soon?

This beer is Elizabeth Whatley. Loves chocolate, coffee, an occasional spot of alcohol and at certain times can definitely be regarded as Grand Cru. She's of mixed domestic and foreign origin, and for some people, entirely unpleasant in large doses.
