Russian River Damnation

Got this one on a west coast trip to visit the Shank. Pretty good, carbonation is a little heavy/ sharp. Candy sugar back end. Full palate, interesting. Sweet malt very present, but not overdone. Head is a nice cumulous cloud that will end up dissipating, nice lacing. Aged for a year.

draft at toronado. golden. spices, bread, bitter. creamy white head. I still prefer the dark belgian strong ales to the golden ones. not my favorite

Draught at Falling Rock. Very cloudy golden with a thin head. Sweet malt, alcohol, banana, and a tangy dry finish. Unique take on the style.

On tap at Monks Cafe. Body is a light orange with a small head. Aromas of bread and cloves (or some other spice I had a hard time teasing out.) Flavor is honey, oranges and spiciness, but it doesn’t meet the hype that I had built up in my mind for it.

On tap at Firewaters. Aroma of caramel and hops, some vanilla and spices. Appearance has fantastic lacing, creamy white head, gold color. Taste also has some vanilla hints, with decent amounts of hops and citrus. Palate is sticky and a bit dry. Outstanding beer!

Golden orange with slight red hues, thin white head. Tart, fresh aromas, fruity. A slightly sweet and sour initial flavor followed by a clean and mildly bitter finish. Kind of like a sour ale meets triple meets pale ale. Nicely balanced, enjoyable brew.

Bottle; pours a solid murky deep gold to light amber; white medium head; nice balance between the hop and spices. EGF 1 (#61)

Bottle. Pours a golden color (floaties) with a nice sized eggshell white head. Great lacing. Aroma is yeasty and fruity. Mouthfeel is creamy. Taste is nice and fruity with a tartness I really like. Nice Ale... reminds me of Duvel.
