This is a one year old bottle. I drank a few of these beers last year and I really enjoyed this beer on a hot summer day. This ale also paired well with some woody profiled cigars. Let’s see how it has aged.
Appearance: ruddy orange color, plenty of white foamy head and a fair amount of lacing on the glass.
Aroma: rich sweet caramel malts and some grassy hops. Not very strong.
Flavors: this has changed from last year. The overall profile seems richer and a bit fuller. A stronger earthy honey note compared to last year’s sweet honey. A nice hoppy bite has developed. And, my wife brought it up that it has a creamy but bitter dark chocolate style. I have to agree – just don’t tell her that I agreed with her. The summertime fruits are gone from last year’s review and this year it has a dark profile, a little raisin like and golden raisin for sure.
Mouthfeel: smooth but filling. Very low carbonation feel.
My Strength Rating: 5 – I liked this ale last year and even though it has changed with age it is still very tasty. And, I have one more bottle to go!
