Overall 7.5
Poured into a nonic pint glass, the appearance was a ruddy burnt amber almost muddled brown color with a thin finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a fairly quick pace. Barely any lace.
The aroma had some spicy to earthy to dried grassy mild hops flowing over some a biscuity maltiness and a light caramel to toffee smoothness.
The flavor brings together the malts to the hops fairly balanced. Nicely blended malty to hoppy aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Moderate carbonation feels good on my tongue. Malts seem somewhat slick on my tongue.
Overall, pretty good English styled strong ale that I could come back to.
