Can, from the TapRm. Pours clear rich golden-orange with small frothy off-white head that flops down fast, orange peel-resin aroma, low carbonation, medium bitter resinous taste, faint orange peel flavor, alcohol undertones, thin body, long finish with alcohol after taste. Te alcohol escapes quite a bit.

“Imperial red ale” from a craft brewery in Williamsburg, Virginia, dry-hopped with Simcoe and Amarillo. Thick and frothy, egg-white, mousy, slowly thinning and opening head on an initially clear, deep ruddy copper-glowing amber red beer with strings of sparkling; turns misty with sediment added. Aroma of cedar essential oil and pine resin, pink grapefruit peel, hard caramel, persimmon, honey candy, orange pith, patchouli, pink peppercorns, toasted peanuts, dry marijuana. Clean, dried-fruity onset, dried apricot, persimmon and tamarillo aspects with early signs of hop bitterness mixed in, lively carbonated but not in a harsh way; resinous, full, oily body. Hard-caramelly, toasty and peanutty maltiness quickly shifting to a very long, piney, resinous, peppery hop bitterness with retronasal grapefruit peel, bitter herb, fried tomato peel and thyme impressions, lingering far beyond a soft glow of soothing, gin-like alcohol. American strong ale in Stone’s Arrogant Bastard style: deliciously ‘old school’, a throwback to American craft brewing of twenty years ago, before everything got softened and sweetened… This is the kind of clean sleekness and uncompromising hop bitterness that first got me into American craft brewing, so I am sincerely glad that this old-fashioned flavour profile still exists. Have an extra point for that.

355ml can from Vinmonopolet Nettbutikk. Shared with Finn. Remaining tan coloured head, near black body with a rustic shade. Spotty lacing. Chocolate malts on the nose, nicely roasted. Oatmeal and dark chocolate malts to the flavour profile. Roasted malt-driven finish. Well bodied. Likable. (Bergstua, Malangen 18.06.2020).

Can @ Patricks. Black body with a nice, creamy beige head. Nice aroma with dark, light roasted malt, coffee and dark chocolate. Pleasant and smooth in taste, mild roasted dark malt, some coffee and chocolate. Not very complex, but tasty and super smooth. Nice body and medium aftertaste. Nice and easy drinkable summer stout.
