Lagunitas Wilco Tango Foxtrot:
Hello all and welcome back to the beer website that not only entertains but educates as well (yes, you just might learn something today).  So as we continue to trudge through the beer world, Lagunitas continues to provide us with an enticing beer line up with names (like today’s Wilco Tango Foxtrot and Censored) to *ahem* a temptress that graces it’s label on certain beers.  Today’s beer is a sequel to 2009’s Correction Ale and this beer was supposed to be Recovery Ale, but alas, the recovery was not happening so the name was changed to Whiskey Tango Foxtrot or WTF.  Now, there is apparently a rule out there where it says that beer can’t be called “Whiskey” so they switch it to Wilco and, presto, this beer is born.  Okay, enough learning, let’s get to the reason we are here.  The beer pours a dark clear amber color with a decent off white head that leaves some lacing and a nose of malts, malts, a bit more malts and some spice and molasses.  The beer’s initial taste is creamy and thick with a touch of toasted bread flavor that rolls into a mid tongue of spices that give the beer a nice range beyond the malt flavors that dominate the beer.  The backend and after taste are malty with only a hint of hops floating around in there.  Not my style of beer really and I had a hard time enjoying it with the generous amount of malts in this beer.  If you’re one for malts, this is right up your alley and you don’t have to worry about me, I’ve already tried it and won’t be going back to it.
