I love the details/information about the salt in the beer-- that you could taste a place in a beer that is distant in time as well as geography-- splendid!

That's the word I was looking for, thanks, Mark! It's something I'll be looking out for in future, certainly. I don't remember it in the Smokehead, but then the smokiness was rather dominating everything else at the time. But I've got another bottle of that tucked away, so I'll keep it in mind. I'll look out for that Dogfish Head story on Pencil & Spoon :) Umami! That’s the word I was looking for, thanks, Mark! It’s something I’ll be looking out for in future, certainly.

I only had a small amount of the 330ml bottle (I shared it between 4!) and I can't wait to open my 750ml bottle now! I got a salty/umami quality in a number of beers, particularly barrel aged beers (Paradox Smokehead, for example). I think it adds a fantastic complexity to the flavour. I love a good beer story. I read a great article on the NY Times website from last year about Dogfish Head and some of their beers. I'll put a post with links up about it soon - things like this fascinate me. I now just need a special enough occasion to open up my Zephyr! It’s a pretty special and unique beer, that’s for sure!
