Dark Horse Amber Ale

12oz bottle - pours a nice reddish, amber color (as you might expect). Very little head to speak of, but it is off white. Malt is at the forefront of this beer, it is also a bit sweeter than I expected. I detect figs, butterscotch, hints of ascorbic acid, maybe cloves... While this is fairly easy to drink, it’s too sweet (i.e. not balanced enough) to make this a session beer.

12oz bottle. Poured a clear dark orange color. The head was short, off white, and reduced immediately to a thin film. Smelled of light toffee, subdued graham cracker, and cereal grain. Light to medium bodied and slightly sweet. Earthy, spicy malt flavor with hints of clove, cinnamon, and fig.

Pours dark amber from the tap. Much like an IPA in it’s aroma and consistency. Plenty ofhops with a touch of smoke. Awfully bitter finish.

12 oz bottle. Pours burnt orangish amber with no head. Kinda looks like ice tee. Aroma is yeasty with breads and malt which is throwing me off a little. Flavor is biscuty and yeasty. Taste more like a belgain strong ale than an amber ale. Is it te breweries objective to mislable beers.

I don’t remember where we got this from, but I shared it with Juart. Pours a full orangish amber color. A thin white fizz for the head that disappears quickly. A biscuity sweet aroma with a yeasty spice and slight piny hop. A very smooth flavor. A pretty hoppy flavor, but not overpowering. Some brown sugar and a grassy hop. A spicy fruityness. A nice balance to it. Leaves a little dry bitterness on the tongue that grows the more you drink it. A bit of a watery texture.
