Ro Shampo (Imperial Red Ale) - brewed with four varieties of hops and a blend of 6 malts, this is well balanced with a nose that evokes thoughts of toffee, fine whisky, and cotton candy while finishing with the satisfaction of a taffy apple on a warm autumnal day

Bottle shared at a tasting. Clear copper, thin fizzy white head, decent retention. Aroma of toffee and earth. The taste is caramel, booze, harsh hops. Medium bodied, harsh.

tap at Brewhaven festival - Pours dark amber and smells of toasted caramel malt. The rich flavor includes those same toasted caramel malts and a good hoppy bitter balance. It’s medium to full bodied with a long, rather bitter finish. Well done.
