4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Fruity, bitter and slightly sour. Flavorful and complex without affecting sweetness. A wonderful taste experience!
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Rich copper garnet pour with two fingers of light tan head. Nose is definitely malt dominant, rich and dextrinous with notes of caramel, raisin, and toasted grain with a mild herbal hop character and fruity notes. A little bit more balance in the flavor, definitely malty but much more of a hop character. Sweet bready malt with some fruity esters and a spicy/herbal hop character. Full bodied with a spicy hop bitterness.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours copper-amber with a relatively small off-white head. Nose is sweet and fruity with a little bit of hops and herbs in the background. Flavor is quite well-balanced with a heavy, apple-and-cherry fruit-like malt contrasted against moderate bitter hops. Very sticky and rich. Alcohol (surprisingly, considering the low ABV) comes out just a touch. Good stuff and might be better aged.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
500 ml bottle thanks to Nate. Pours a dark copper color with a medium white head. The aroma is certainly like fruit cake, some raisins and alcohol. The flavor is dry caramel and sweet fruity malts, berries and a hint of bitter hops in the finish, lots of flavor, some port like qualities, warm, interesting. A nice brew.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle shared in a train. Clear dark orange pour, thin off-white head that leaves lacing. Aroma is full of floral hops, ripe fruits, some licorice and a hint of grass. Flavor is bitter aged hops and a nice thick ripe fruit malt backbone. Very nice brew.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle: pours a beautiful reddish brown color with aromas of sweet roasted caramel. It fills your mouth with a heavy roasted malty flavor that lingers well after you finish your mouthful. Great beer... Well balanced.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Pours a reddish brown color with a beige head. Caramel and toffee malt aroma. Nice flavor with a bit of dry hoppiness in the finish. Soft carbonation.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Rich coppery orange-brown with a slightly tan head. Citrusy, slightly sweet, mix of dark and light fruit aromas. Some citrus, spice, dark fruit sweetness, but a bit of a toasty malt presence that goes into a dry, fruity finish. Medium body with solid, but not overwhelming carbonation. Warming even though it’s a lower abv.
