Archives: C.I. Shenanigan's, 8/3/07

C.I. Shenanigan's Restaurant/Big Horn Brewing
Spokane, WA
Fri 8/3/07, 7:30pm
[open]

Very Irish pub-style setting next to convention center and very hard to find.

House Brews:
Washington Blonde
Hefeweisen
Buttface Amber (B - sample)
Big Red IPA (J)
Total Disorder Porter (B)

Total Disorder Porter: Minute head. Nearly black in color. Smoky malt aroma. Coffee start to the taste with a very smoky finish. A little tingle in the mouthfeel but the body is a bit thin. Overall, very good flavor. Hops are muted; the smokiness is the aftertaste. 8.2

Big Red IPA: Fairly strong head for an IPA. Aroma is vaguely unpleasant. Nice red color. We're talking Tuppers-style hops here. I couldn't taste Becky's beer after some sips of mine. Body is good. There might be some malt buried in there. 8.1

Butthead Amber: Deep copper color. Thin head. Aroma is balanced. Malts predominate the taste although hops are present. Good mouthfeel, decent body. Well carbonated. All good things but there's nothing particularly remarkable about this beer. Easily drinkable but pretty easily forgotten. 7.8
