Olde Richmond Batch No. 6

Brewed by St. George Brewing Company
Style: Amber Ale
Hampton, Virginia USA

Bomber. Lightly hazy, deep red-copper with a lasting quarter inch of cream. Faint aroma of toasted nut, cocoa and caramel. Flavors are caramel, chocolate, berries and nut tempered by some slight citrus, wood and chalk. Medium body is mostly smooth, but has a few flareups.

Pours brown with a tan head. Smells of sweet malt, caramel, earthy. Tastes spicy and earthy with some molasses hints on the finish.

Bottle from Market Street Wine Shop Downtown. No, you won’t find any more. Reddish brown color with a medium head and good retention and lacing. Slightly tart caramel aroma. Very grainy taste with fruity and spicy notes. Smooth. Medium body.

Bomber. Deep amber with reddish overtones with ample light-tan head. Toasty and nutty aroma and flavor. A little thin on the body. My favorite of the Olde Richmond beers.

Pours a coca-cola brown with amber hues. Head is toasted white and big. Aroma is chocolate, bourbon, spicy. Taste is a little watery, but there is good flavor here with chocolate, licorice, cardamon, and bourbon barrel. Vegetable hops slightly. Predominately anise and chocolate. I like this one.

cloudy copper with beige head, the aroma is slightly floral with hint of caramel. bready flavor that is well balance and pleasent to drink, nice brew.

Bottle from Norms. I swore I rated this quite some time ago. Never the less, this beer was very good. Redish hue when poured. It’s pretty easy to drink, but that’s about it. Easily forgettable, but worthwhile to get if you have the option.

Blalanced dandelion and rye bouquet. Dingy copper color, medium yellowish head. Watery mouthfeel. Mushroomy and little else. Weak bitter grass finish. Not a good offering from a good brewer.
