Bottle. Pours a reddish brown color with off-white head. Caramel, malty, slight alcohol aromas. Caramel, malty, spice flavors. Tastes like a malty barleywine. Not my favorite Deschutes offering.

An amber brown beer with an average frothy white head. Aroma is malty with notes of caramel and dried fruits. Flavor is also malty and caramel, hoppy, slightly roasted. Dry finish. Good beer

A nice beer but it didn’t taste like an ale. It was overly malty for an ale but still a nice beer.

Malty toffee aroma. Deep murky copper color. Pretty full bodied. Has a slight berry bitterness to it which is rounded off by the malts - finishing with the alcohol coming through.

Pours a clear, dark, amber color with a caramel—colored head that has an orangish hue. Aromas are comprised of an earthiness and brown sugar. Creamy, smooth mouthfeel. Toasty, butterscotch, and toffee flavor with a piney bitterness at the finish. Average to slightly above average.

On tap at Minneapolis Town Hall. 2012 vintage. Dark pour, complex flavor profile - recommended.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Special 25th Anniversary bottle, in a tulip glass. Pours a stout-black colour with a finger’s worth of tan head, steadily receding. Big hops on the nose; grapefruit zest and pine, faint sweetness. Flavour hits you again right away with the hops, fading quickly to coffee, bitterness and sweetness fairly balanced, though perhaps leaning towards dry rather than malty. Not what I was actually looking for in a winter ale (I generally expect them to be sweet and malty,) but certainly not unwanted. Quite well done, worth having again, though perhaps when I’m in the mood for hops.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap. Comes dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma of malt, fruit, caramel, and pine. Taste is malt, dark fruits, spice, caramel, pine, grass, and alcohol. A lot going on here. Nice.

Beautiful Olde English Ale. Read the product description and the other reviews... they nailed it. ’Nuff said.
