Description
Founded by local home brewers in 2009, Straight to Ale has quickly grown to become one of Alabama’s largest production breweries.
In the summer of 2016 we opened our new 55,000 square foot facility at Campus 805, reclaiming a long vacant Middle School campus on the edge of downtown Huntsville and turning it into a thriving community of breweries, bars, restaurants, and local shops. At this new location, we expanded to include cider and mead production along with distilled spirits (Shelta Cavern Spirits), a scratch made kitchen (Ale’s Kitchen), a pinball arcade and pool room (Ronnie Rayguns).

33cl can shared at Antarabangsa courtesy of Lubiere. Thick creamy white head. It's in a plastic cup so I can't see the beer. Lovely bitterness. Very good.

Not bad, nice and dry with an unsweetened cocoa soul backed by caramel and loads of dark roast coffee creating a bitter, roasty finish. Underlined by cherry and raisin. Thin texture could use more heft, but otherwise a good stout.

[12oz can from Total Wines, Naples, Fl.] A dark chestnut pour with a thin beige head; sugary malt aroma; rather aromatic taste with lots of sugar in the background and a thinnish body; then some obvious alcohol in the finish. Not unpleasant.

Straight to ale velvet Keg at BrewDog Castlegate. It pours clear deep brown with a decent beige head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, toasty grain, fudge, date, creamy, ice cream sundae, whippy cream, vanilla, some ripe raspberry and cranachan. The taste is dry, bitter, tart, tangy fruits, jammy berry, raspberry, juicy, oak, wood, leather, cranachan, boozy warmth, spice, tangy and just a tough of acidity. Finish is drying and woody. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Fruity and tangy. Dangerously drinkable.

Sampled at home thanks to Martinus. Clear amber color, virtually no head. Smell and taste malts, odd milk chocolaty dessert-ish. Maybe some tonka bean notes with a toasted malt note. Quite ok. Odd but ok.

On tap at BrewDog in Leicester. Shared with Finn. Filmy layer, clingy lacing, pitch black in the glass. Inviting dark malty aroma, with a chocolate twist. Almond, chocolate and earth to a rich flavour character. Rounded, long-lived mid-sweet malty ending. Well bodied. Great sipper qualities. (10.02.2019).
