3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 ChainGangGuy (4568) - Marietta, Georgia, USA - MAR 20, 2012
Appearance: Clouded, dusky russet body with over an inch of off-white foam crowning the glass.
Smell: Biscuity, bready foremost, then, a hint of toast and, further down, a low note of roast with a sweetish toffee accent enveloping all of it. Small smidgen of dried herb and fruit.
Taste: Sugary toffee tossed with crumpled bread and biscuits. Scantly toasty. Small nibble of red apple. Herbal hops provide a little amount of balancing bitterness, though the ale still manages to finish out a bit sweetish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Just a half-notch above medium-bodied.
Overall: Has a more beefier character than most Irish Ales, presumably thanks to not being ruthlessly over-filtered.

Excellent! The cloudy dark brown color is inviting, and the aroma is decidedly ale-ish and smoky. Flavor is mild and free of bitterness, but vivid and with smoky and nutty undertones. Smooth as a babys cheek, this is a delightfully drinkable ale, the sort that you sip.
