5.6% abv
Old Ale Style
12 oz bottle
$9.99 a six pack
Appearance: dark brown body with mahogany highlights; nice
one finger tan head; spot lacing
Aroma: faint overall; dark tasted malts; dark fruit – raisin
like
Flavors: everything seems muddled together but in a good
way; roasted malts; medium chicory; toasted toffee with a thin layer of dark
chocolate; touch of dark fruit; hops don’t standout but are present and they
are doing their job to keep things balanced
Mouthfeel: low carbonation; medium body; reminds me of an
iced medium roast coffee; pleasing roasted malts; dry roasted notes linger on
the palate; now this is a balanced ale – the sweetness does not standout nor
the bitterness – just smack dab in the middle
To the Point: a solid dark ale; very nice for something
different; I enjoyed the other five last month with a couple of quality cigars;
I’m going with an 86% for a high B just short of a B+; nothing (flavor) really
stands out, the flavors seem muddled together like I said before but it works
out in a good way for this ale;
This ale should be a perfect fit for almost all types of cigars.
