Sweet Mullets Brewing Company, Oconomowoc, WI
I finally made it to Sweet Mullets Brewing Company and sampled their nine current beers on tap. I was optimistic going and left a little unsatisfied. I will say that all of their beer was different, using different ingredients and different brewing methods. I just found that many of the beers seemed flat and watered down. I didn't find any one beer that stood out above all the others, thought the 505 Export Stout might have been my top choice with Toil 'N Trouble being the most bizarre.
501 American Red Ale (Amber Ale)
Nice red amber pour. Mild floral and citrus hop and sweet malt aroma. Malty taste with a bit of caramel.
505 Export Stout (Foreign Stout)
Pours black with a tan head. Nice buttery, caramel aroma. Flavor is strong espresso with chocolate hints on the back end.
Autumn Leaf (Specialty Grain)
Hazy yellow pour. Very grainy and Earthy. Smelled like fresh cut, wet grass. Earthy taste. Strange.
Eleven (IPA)
Advertised as a Belgian IPA. Poured hazy golden color. Smelled of fruity hops and Belgian yeast. Had that expected citrus aroma. Taste is spicy with a sweet finish and mildly hoppy.
M.E.C.O. (German Hefeweizen)
Clear yellow pour. Sweet grainy aroma with some fruit. Taste was mildly spicy with characteristic banana notes.
Rye Bob (Specialty Grain)
Hazy amber pour. Grainy, rye aroma. Taste is sweet malts and mild hops with citrus undertones.
Steinbier (Vienna)
Brown-amber pour. Sweet, dried fruit aroma with some caramel. Sweet caramel and toasted malt flavor.
The Captain Pre-Pro American Pilsner (Pilsner)
Pale yellow in color. Sweet aroma. Bland and watery taste. Not a fan of pilsners.
Toil 'N Trouble (Sour Ale/Wild Ale)
This one was the most interesting of the nine. Pale yellow pour with a white head. The aroma was sweet, but different. One of those odd smells that isn't bad, but different enough that you want to keep smelling it. Taste was opposite of the aroma...sour up front with a residual fruity sweetness at the end.
