3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Dark amber-red with pretty nice off-white head. Seemed about to leave lace but didn’t. Sweet but characterful aroma. nice and spicy in the ginger-cinnamon pocket. Has a nice malt profile with some bread and cherries. Really enjoyed it at first. Very drinkable, good, and bready at first but gets cloying after a while. Still, a good effort.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Reddish-brown. Thin head. Malty-chewy aroma with lots of tasty chocolate nuances. Some higher alcohols. Caramel, light toffee. Has a slight alcoholic dryness. A bit thin for the style. Way too rough, but the malt complexity is pretty good.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pint at The Abbey. Clear brown wtih a very small head. Aroma is malty, caramel, and a bit nutty. Flavor starts out nice with some good caramel malt but quickly this beer finishes with an odd flavor and its too damn thin.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20
Great, sweet malty chewiness, with slight hop bitterness. Only problem was that it tasted a little soapy and rather metallic, my diagnosis is that the keg was probably only an hour old. I was the first to try it in a couple years I guess. As it sits there it should erase those flavors, which gives me an excuse to come back and try it again.
