Location: Draft at Hay Merchant, 2/17/14, Vintage 2011

Aroma: The aroma is malty, it has lots of toffee, some caramel, and brown sugar
Appearance: Pours a dark red color with a beige head and some plus lace on the glass
Flavor: The taste is malty and leans sweet, toffee stands out the most of the components
Palate: This one has a medium-full body, with a sticky and smooth feel
Overall Impression: Hay Merchant still has a couple of pretty cool things left over from their Anniversary Party, and this was one of them. I liked this one.

On tap at Strangeways. Pours with a hazed deep bronze body with a massive tan head that leaves great lace. Aromas are of burnt caramel, canned pineapple, creme brulee, caramel, flan, medium esters, lots of booze. Some fusel alcohols. Flavors are quite bitter, some faded hop character, burn caramel, alcohol, toffee, flan, raisins. Really deep caramel and caramelization notes. BIG. Deeply warming, medium to creamy carbonation....REALLY BIG.

Draught at Draught House, Austin
Hazy dark brown color with red hue, poor head. Aroma of caramel. Thick mouthfeel, oily, with malt, a lot of caramel, a lot of sugars, enough bitterness, sweet nuts, and a prickling alcohol warmth on the tongue. The final, with a lot of caramel, warming, is long. It’s not special, but I like powerful beers.
