Maracaibo Especial

Friends, if your greatest desire is to work really hard, then go home and drink beer and watch teevee, your dreams, too can come true.

I paid way too much for this, but I felt like opening my Maricaibo Especial. A bit foamy, with an off-white head and lacing, and a deep amber body. Pretty tangy and dry, but I don't really get any cacao. A little orange maybe and maybe coriander. It feels kinda thin and overcarbonated, but it's balanced and has a nutty dry finish. Of course, it is a sour as all Jolly Pumpkins are, with a bright brettanomyces funk.

It's probably worth almost what it normally cost, but not the sum I paid. Ah well, such is the way with things not available locally.
