Batch #059; 01/06/2016.
This was poured into a snifter.
The appearance was a glossy burnt brown color with a quickly dissipating slim finger’s worth of white head. Lacing was sporadic and messy all over the place.
The smell was extremely nice as the smokiness invades subtle sweet chocolate and nutty malts. Strong notes of dark fruits gracefully slide in underneath.
The taste was moderately sweet with a nice bitter and dry/smokey to subtle roastiness laying down on my tongue. Semi-sweet to subtle roasty and smokey aftertaste runs into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a subtle gracing of rich sweetness clinging to my tongue. Carbonation runs fairly light. Nuttiness replaces the bitterness hitting my tongue nicely.
Overall, for an old ale, Frost knocked this one out of the park! Oh hell yeah, could be one of my favorite beers by them. Looking forward to getting another bottle, somehow, thanks Andy.
