Served in pint glass, dark reddish brown with thin head. Little aroma, mild taste, deceptive ABV. Clean finish, easy to drink. But still a non-distinctive beer within its style, lots of better competitors.

Vampire Imperial Red Ale from Legend Brewing Company
12 years ago
8.6/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 7 Flavor 9 Texture 8 Overall 9.5
Tea and grass nose, moderate strength. Cloudy rust, medium yellow head, good lace. Meaty tea and dried leaves flavor, savory and hearty. Subtle caramel base. Finishes almost smoky. Full body. Now this is an imperial red. Don’t get me wrong, I like the hoppy ones, but red ales are malt forward by definition. This typifies what the style should be, a big hearty malt bomb with just enough hops to make it interesting.

Walnut and seaweed aroma, charcoal accent. Black, medium tan head. Tangy, odd for a stout. Charcoal flavor. Rather sweet on the back of the palate. Light body, astringent. This didn’t work for me at all.

Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle poured into a weizen glass. Pours slightly hazy golden with small/medium white head. Aroma is grainy, medium body, medium carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is grainy, some crisp herbal hops, and slightly bitter finish. Didn’t do it for me.
