#60 - Rudgate Brewery - Cousin Marynka

This is one of the most peculiar beers I've ever tried.  In an extremely light 'lager style' hand-pull, the predominant flavor is that of burnt malt.  Needless to say it is far from pleasant.  Next comes a big batch of hops, to which I am largely indifferent, but which do not go nearly far enough to remove the intitial bitter burnt flavor.  This is then warped by a bizarrely bitter vanilla aftertaste.  Very strange.  At 3.9% it could be an ideal session beer, but really, why would you?  This is a poor brew through and through and I was happiest learning that it was a limited edition.  If you are out to try every beer you can, give it a go.  If you are out to enjoy the beer you drink, avoid it.  3/10
