3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Nitro at Tony’s Darts Away. Pours dark ruby red with a creamy white head that lasted all the way down. Aroma is nutty, roasted grain and pumpernickel bread. Flavor is somewhere between an English mild and a brown ale, roasted malt, bread and hazel nuts. Finish is malty and slightly bitter at the very end. This is a very nice beer! Oh and it’s about time someone had the balls to brew a nice session beer. High five Eagle Rock!
