Adam is a recreation of a historic beerstyle. Originally made in Dortmunder, Germany, it was the first beer I produced when I opened Hair of the Dog. Rich in flavor, Adam is best served as a dessert beer. It is great with chocolate or cigars, or just a warm fire and good company. It has 10% alcohol by volume and 50 IBUs.

"such a powerful and smooth first few sips ... intensely flavourful with dark cherry, dark chocolate, some smokey leather, piney ... very good stuff, ...LS .... had after a particularly annoying day at work and the aggressive hops melted the annoyance away.. recommended!"

"12 oz bottle - batch 67 (thanks to Crosling!). Pours a dark brown with a smallish creamy off white head that quickly recedes to a thin film that laces the glass.
The aroma is grainy chocolate, coffee, dark fruits and a little alcohol.
The flavor is sweet (sugary) and smoky chocolate, black licorice and vinous fruits with a tarry alcoholic bitter finish. As it warms, the alcohol overpowers the sweetness. The mouthfeel is medium to full and slightly watery with soft carbonation.
Overall, a very fine beer. It tastes a little like a super-charged Hibernation, but with more burnt tar and anise (which come out more as it warms). I liked it better colder."

[3] Review by Phil B from Gatineau, Canada who has tried this beer once. (2/16/2007 1:28:54 PM)
"Bottle: Poured a clear dark brown color ale with a super huge foamy head (so much foam coming out of the bottle that I thought the beer was infected) with good retention. Aroma of chocolate and tobacco is interesting and different. Taste is mix between some chocolate malt with some tar, tobacco and probably some smoke. Taste is very complex with quite of few layer appearing as the beer warms up. Carbonation was slightly below average with no alcohol being discernable. I will definitely try to pick-up some more bottles as I would like to age a few."

[4] Review by Rmussman from Northern, CA, USA who has tried this beer once. (11/11/2006 12:43:48 AM)
"Wow probably one of the best beers I have ever had. Aroma is full of scents including chocolate and other spices and hops. Appearance is dark dark brown and the head is unbelievable. Maybe I should get a spoon. Mouthfeel is very smooth with a nice sweet aftertaste. Flavor is insane. So full of chocolate and hickory accents and spices. Truly an amazing beer. "

[5] Review by Stoutlover72 from Northern, California, USA who has tried this beer once. (10/2/2006 1:47:34 AM)
"This is one great beer. WOW. An intensity that is rarely matched here. A thick, viscuous liquid that is black in color with deep purple highlights. The mouthfeel on this is coating, very thick almost like it's a beer reduction somehow. The taste is figs, dark brown sugar, all spice, and still has another level of smokiness that is just perfect. The alcohol is very well hidden. I will be looking for this again, and again."
