Commercial Description:
Nosferatu is a full-bodied, English style Strong Ale with a deep red-amber color. This is a very complex ale, with a rich malty flavor and assertive hop character. The particular blend of specialty malts leads to a toasted “biscuit” flavor with a gentle malt sweetness. On top of this firm malt foundation, several large additions of British style hops are then added throughout the boil. The result is a truly unique beer, with a distinct hop profile, from the crisp bitterness of the first taste, through the fresh hop flavor and aroma of the beer’s finish.

Draft at Bailey’s Taproom. This is a really well-made, flavorful little beer. Pours deep grainy ruddied medium amber with a dense but too-brief tan head. Nice brown bread, biscuit, and light caramel nose. Creamy, slightly grainy medium body. No flaws on the mid-palate. Not the single most amazing mid-palate for flavors, but boasts some brown bread, caramel, wet leaves, and a bit of toast. Nice stuff. Clean finish.

on tap at mickey finns. aromas of wheat toast, dark caramel, walnuts. crisp copper red color with an off-white head.has appropriate carbonation and a little weight in the mouth. flavors of dark caramel, whole wheat bread, plum. the crispness fo the falvors here makes this a superior amber/red to me, since others fo this type have an odd flavor patch that i cant describe but dont like.

On cask at Bailey’s taproom. Pours red/copper with a bubbley off-white head. Nutty malts up front, fruity with a soft toasty caramel character. I really enjoyed the balance this beer had, the pairing of the toasty malts and the citrus hops was well done, the cask thinned it all out and subdued the hops a bit, but it still was delicious.

Tap at Rose and Raindrop. Reddish-amber coloured beer. Thin white head. Aroma is fruity and hoppy. Pale candyish biscuity malt. Fruity, caramel malt, some yeastiness and a bit of resiny and citrusy hop flavour. Yeast throws loads of raspberry/cherry esters with with some sweet C-hops.

Cask- Pours cloudy orange with a creamy offish white head. Smells really cleanly brewed with a bit of sweetness citrus. Oranges and sweetness right up front and then fading to a very smooth end. Very little bitterness on the finish. The flavor is incrediblly orange. I love this beer. I drove an hour to have another pint (or two) It reminds me of humbolt red nectar.
