Moonlight Toast (Slightly Burned) Malt Liqour

On tap at Flavour in SR. This is simply incredible, although I don’t think it truly be considered "malt liquor" stylistically. It is more like a cross between a good, earthy, caramelly English ESB and a "red" American strong ale like Bear Republic Red Rocket. It is deep, clear copper with a medium, dense, lon-lasting head that leaves rich lacing, typical of Moonlight. The aroma is earthy, caramel, dark toast, with fruity-piney hops. The taste is rich and intricate, beuatifull balanced between sweetness and bitternes, full-bodied, with dark but not burnt toast, caramel, earthy hints, fruit, hitns of citrus, flowers, and pine. It starts of a little sweeter and finishes a little more bitter but has beautiful balance all the way through, It’s thick and smooth but also lively.

(from notes) (on tap at Cato’s) pint is a gorgeous brown-tinted ruby-red, with a thin collar that leaves great lace. nose is, as the name states, dominantly toasty, with some light chocolate notes and a bit of floral hop character on the sides. flavor is toasty/roasty almost to the point of being a brown porter. good drinking beer, that perhaps becomes a hair one dimensional by the finish (not that you can really fault it - it is called Toast, y’know).

Draft. 2005 (aged a year or more). Rich amber beer with a big light beige head. Bready malt aroma with some toastiness. Rich caramel malt flavor with light roasty backing. Lingering creamy caramel malt flavor. Rich, slightly creamy mouthfeel.

Tap. Fairly dark color , not much of a head. Not as much burnt flavor as the name would imply. More dominated by malts, molasses and caramel. Aromas hint of some roasted malts but not much so. Quite a nice beer, good body.

Tap @ Tornado side by side with 06 Vintaged draft, BikesandBeer. 1/04/08. Porus orange brown with a tan ring. Nose is sweet and spiced. Taste is sweet, spiced and very drinkable. Fresh draft tasted slightly better.
