Aorta Ale is a Double Red Ale with bold flavors of Cascade hops and sweet malt, and a dark reddish-brown color. Subtle aromas of candy, brown sugar, and toasted malt are released from the depths of this full-bodied beast. Raisins, figs, and burnt caramel are among the sweeter and more forward flavors found in Aorta Ale. This brew finishes with a roasted cocoa like bitterness which is magnified by the high alpha hops.

Reddish brown with a laqsting white head. Aroma has citrus hops, a little spice (pepper?), some fruitiness, and a nettle-like herbal note. The flavour has all the right stuff - fruitiness, hops, malt in great balance between sweetness and bitterness. Traditional, but well designed. Lingering bready malt finish.
