Queen Anne's Revenge
The Lost Abbey - The Tasting Room

On tap at Sweeney's Ale House in Encino, CA.

Pours a murky reddish-brown with a foamy dark khaki head that settles to a partial film on top of the beer. Small streaks of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of toasted malt, caramel, brown sugar, earth, and slight dark fruit aromas. Taste is much the same with earth, toast, caramel, brown sugar, and slight fruit flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of toast bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp and sticky mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer with a nice mix of toast, earth, and sticky sugar qualities all around.

Serving type: on tap.

 

 

 

 

 

A: Malty-sweet with moderate esters and molasses aromas from the malt and rum barrel

A: reddish-brown color, almost opaque, no noticeable head

F: Malt-forward, with some esters and molasses notes

M: Medium bodied, low carbonation

O: Solid rendition of an Old Ale, the rum barrel helped draw out some of the esters. I was expecting the malt flavor to be a little more complex and fuller bodied.
