Had on Handpump at Volstead Trading Company, 425mL
A- A pretty classic look for a old ale served by hand pump, just a bit of natural tan wispy head and the color is a dark burnt carmel. pretty damn sexy.
S-Burnt Caramel, prunes, raisin , brown sugar and alcohol esters
T-Prune Wine is the first thing that comes to mind, the alcohol is there for sure, and maybe the beer could do with a bit more age, but it is still interesting the finish has flourishes of burn caramel and brown sugar.
M-Too light for the style, it just rolls off my palate, I want there to be more stickiness in the beer.
O-A decent Old ale, that would be even better with more age added on to it, I think there is plenty right here, just a few tweaks (and maybe a barrel or two) could really send this over the edge.
