COLOSSAL FOUR is dark caramel in color. It is rich in flavor without being overwhelming sweet or bitter. It is a malty brew made with a special dark candy date sugar. It has a slight roast flavor and shows complex, dark fruit flavors of raisins, dates and cooked apples all mixed with a bit of chocolate.

Draught @ Albion. Cloudy dark amber with small foamy beige head, doughy aroma with some caramel, sweet caramelized malt taste with faint alcohol undertones, low carbonation, long caramel finish. Quite sticky sweet and robust.

Very well done. These guys always surprise me with the quality of their stuff. Pours dark amber with decent head and lacing. Prune and raisin with some floral yeast aroma. Touch of oaky bitterness in finish but only a hint. Light sweetness otherwise. Tap at pizza paradiso Dupont.

Draft at Glens Garden Market and Pizzeria Paradiso Dupont. Poured a nice ruby brown color, slightly murky. Head was lightly tanned. Aroma was raisins, dates and some brown sugar. Very vague notes of oatmeal raisin cookies. Flavor was great tasting raisins, dried fruits. Alcohol is there, but doesn’t provide any burning character. This was fantastic. Very impressive.
