Eel River Triple Exultation

Brewed by Eel River Brewing Company
Style: Old Ale
Fortuna, California USA

On tap at Papago Brewing in Phoenix. This was absolutely delicious. Notes of vanilla and pear over a great, intense, wonderfully sharp classic American strong ale taste. Caramel malt holds it all together. A perfect balance. Highly recommended.

Bottle courtesy of Tampa Tasting Group. Pours a dark red brown with a thin off white head. Aroma is sweet and syrupy with notes of phenol, caramel, dark ripe fruit. Flavor is sweet and floral with a slight spice and notes of raisins and dark ripe fruit that gradually transitions to a slight bitterness. Lively carbonation with a hint of wood on finish.

great smooth aroma of toffee and caramel, slightly fizzy but plenty of body, not too sweet but excellent all around

Poured a dark brown/reddish color with fluffy head that lasted a little while. Aroma was malty and had hints of dark fruit. Taste is similar to the smell with some nice hops bitterness to balance it off. Mouthfeel was very pleasant. Drinkability for a beer of this abv was not too bad. Good stuff that I would have again.

Pours copper/ambre, beige head. Aroma, malty / caramel, dark fruits. Taste, nice caramel malts. Fruity, almost syrupy (maple) light hops, good carbonation. More goodness by Eel River.

Bottle. Deep amber-reddish pour with off-white head. Nicely sweet malt character... toffee, a bit of butterscotch, caramel. Earthy and slightly dusty tasting. Some dark fruits, and a surprising amount of hops--without going overboard. Solid beer.

Pours a deep red-amber color with aroma and flavor of malt, maple, molasses, and it finishes with a nice sweetness. Excellent Old Ale.

The aroma is perfectly malty with caramel, toffee, and a touch of alcohol all balanced with piny hops. The appearance is red brown with a nice foamy head. The flavor is like the aroma but not as sweet as expected. The palate is smooth. Overall very nice.
