3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from HEB. Dark, clear brown with amber highlights and a large eggshell colored head. Aroma of toast, dark fruit, toffee, and bubblegum. The taste is yeasty and a little soapy and not nearly as sweet as beers of this style generally are. Medium bodied, bubbly, and slightly spicy. Not bad, but the flavors are definitely on the soft side.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from The Bottle Shop, Cardiff. Served in tulip glass.
Pours dark brown and clear, with a fizzy off-white head dissolving to lacing. A sweet carameliness in the aroma, apples, some chocolate. A medium sweetness giving way to gentle bitterness in the mouth, with a lively feel and medium body. A long finish and I can still taste the caramel and only late does it feel like there is any hoppiness. Nice beer that I imagine would go well with Italian foods. Can definitely taste the effects of the candy sugar. Worth a try.
