bb (2155), Martinez, California, USA Apr 25, 2008 Draft. Ruby beer with a nice dark-cream colored head. Nice caramel aroma. Caramel flavor with plum and berry. Medium bodied. Lingering caramel/toffee, berry, and plum. A bit too fruity for me.
Braudog (3463), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Apr 14, 2008 Draft at the brewpub. Midnight crimson color with little to no head. Richly malted aroma. Big, thick beer. Full of body with a light alcoholic flammability. Big and rich (not like the country band). (#3412, 4/11/2008) Ramenen (347), San Salvador, El Salvador Apr 9, 2008 Drank it on tap at the brewery. Dark amber color. Sweet rum like aroma. Taste is sweet, malty, caramel, an ale with a punch. Heart warming, really nice. Delirium (433), Santa Cruz, California, USA Apr 8, 2008 Draught at the brewpub. Pours dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is mildly sweet roast malt, with chocolate, caramel, and a bit of earthy hops. Flavor is likewise. A bit odd for a scotch ale---the richness is rather subdued, there’s almost no smokiness, and there are more hops than expected. However, it’s quite good.
