Commercial Description:
This beer is fermented at a lower temperature than our standard ales, giving it a very malty taste. Scottish and English malts are melded together with English hops to create this ale's strong, sweet, malty finish. The caramel color comes from a blending of 3 types of Scottish and English crystal malts. The hops are UK Kent Goldings, but only in small amounts, so that the malt flavor still comes through.

Draft at hop devil grill. Pours a cloudy brown body with a sweet malty aroma and some dry fruit. A moderate presence of malt and etoh in the finish.

Draft at Pearly Bakers. Deep red body with thin head. Aroma is hoppy, sweet malt. Flavor is a nice hoppy body, sweet malt and some smoke. Smooth despite the harsh mix of hops.

On tap at Hop Devil Grill - Brown color wiht a malty-sweet aroma. Flavor is rich and malty with molasses and brown sugar - finishes nice. Not bad at all, very drinkable.

Tap at Hop Devil - clear brown, purplish beer, with a pillowy, lasting head - very sweet aroma, with dough, brown sugar, light spiciness - taste is medium sweet, with some roasty notes and cocoa - light barleywine character in the form of fruity esters - herbal, bittering hops - a little bit of earthy/peat notes - light cocoa in the finish - pretty nice.
