Eel River Triple Exultation

Amber with next to no head. Aroma of caramel, bread and mild hops. Taste is of caramel, toffee and grassy hops. A little bit too sweet and unbalanced. Alcohol is hidden decently though shows up a little bit in the finish.

22 ounce bottle shared by cdog69. Pours clear brown with an off white head. Very bready aroma. There’s also some toffee and a light layer of roast. Very malty, bready, biscuity, toffee, and toasted. There’s very little hop character here, but its just bitter enough to make it interesting. Full body with a bit more carbonation than expected. Dry finish. Really nice.

Cherry wood dark brown-amber with a thick, creamy brownish head. Aroma starts with mild fruit, then deepens and increases in complexity for the discernment of cherry and plum with a moderate hoppiness. Nice aged-wood flavor quality, dryish but not parching. Moderate hoppiness and lovely layers of fruit, cherry and plum. A wonderful raisinette (chocolate and raisin) flavor develops. Alcohol is masterfully integrated to accentuate the flavor and mouthfeel qualities. Outstanding!

Had a hard time picking out aroma molecules , fuit tinged chocolate malt and black pekoe from what I could detect, taste was a more up front strange and interesting combination of flavors, including root beer candy, chcolate frosting,and slightly burnt caramel, occasionally the alcohol would float to your attention. Would have rated in the 4’s if i could have gotten more aroma

Really un-hot for something so near 10% alcohol. Pours chestnut color, huge head, great malt aroma. A bit of roasty malt flavor, no overpowering hops, and like I said, not a lot of noticeable alcohol for something this strong. It’s nice!

Pours a 2 inch high head of fine and dense light orange bubbles. Decent carbonation for this big a brew. Settles very slowly. Thick sheet of sticky lacing. Lots of malts and caramel in the aroma. Hint of roasted grains. Color is a cloudy mahagony brown. Sweet malty flavor with a decent alcohol kick and warming. Roasty flavor and a bit dry and grainy late swallow. Lingering caramel and bitter tea. I am a big fan of old ales and while there are plenty of good ones out there this one is not all that bad.

The Dan Journal #170. Tasted 5/3/08. 22oz bomber. Hazy with an amber hue. Trace off-white head. Bread pudding and caramel aromas. Mild spices. Full bodied with a good burn. Burnt toast flavors. Spicy yeast character. Peppery and caramel. Lingering effervescence. Citrus note. Tart with an odd cocoa flavor. Dry palate. Just slightly off...

Umber color with a touch of rudy when held to the light. Moderate, lasting, dark beige head. Decent lace. Lightly alcohol soaked fruit aromas. Raisins and cherries with some caramel drizzled over the top as well. Sweet start with brown sugar, more fruit soaked in alcohol, and some hints of pale malt. In the middle things start to become a bit unwrapped. Some green and dried grass come in along with rye bread and treacle. A mild scorched malt flavor also seeps in. I do catch resin and rubber once and a while . Finish is lightly bitter and a bit woody. Linger continues on with the woody theme. A strong somewhat thin tasting strong ale.
