Naja Imperial Red

Tap at Copper Kettle - amber ale? - this needs to be listed as an American Strong Ale - turbid amber pour - thick head - sits somewhere between barley wine and double IPA - initial malt sweetness with flavors of caramel, oats - moderate fruity esters - dries out a bit through the middle - earthy hops and potent bitterness, but also quite a bit of strong, nearly metallic acidity, which detracts considerably from the enjoyment - there are strengths, but not enough of them to make me want this beer again - tastes like a drier, much more acidic Bigfoot Ale - the world does not need another mediocre imperial red ale - copper kettle, please stick to the less hoppy styles; the world needs more of those
