330ml bottle 10% abv
Appearance: Lovely russet brown colour with red highlights when held to the light, small off white head (lasts most of the way down, leaving reasonable lace)
Smell: Very malty, followed by a nice whiff of hops, also hints of molasses and tobacco and a faint alcohol smell.
Taste: Again malty flavours dominate, molasses and smokey notes, followed by a nice hop presence at the swallow.
Mouthfeel: Medium to heavy bodied beer, with low carbonation.
Drinkability: How on earth do these guys make a 10% beer so drinkable. The alcohol is very very well hidden and if you don't watch yourself, you can easily drink about 5 too many....
I recently opened a 2 year old bottle and these are my notes:
Appearance: Clear, copper red body topped by a massive, creamy beige head that displays good retention and actually leaves some good lace. 4
Smell: Mmmm, this smells delicious! Sweet caramel, a fair amount of vanilla, red fruit, light molasses and a light nuttiness. The nose could be a little stronger. 4
Taste: Malty sweet, notes of red fruit, some caramel and a light bitterness in the finish. 3.5
Mouthfeel: Medium-full bodied, with a moderate level of fairly smooth carbonation. 4
Overall: Hazard 10 has aged surprisingly well! I am going to have to buy a few more bottles to put away!!! 4
