482 Bitter

Reviewed from notes. The appearance was a burnt dark copper color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that slid off at a nice pace. Sly stringy lace. The aroma had a sturdy amount of clean caramel/toffee malts, sweet nuts, some earthy hops and light butterscotch at the end. The flavor yielded to the sweetness initially and then brought out a nice sly blend of earthy to floral bitterness. Nice expected aftertaste. Sly malty finish. The feel was about medium bodied with a nice sipping quality about it. Acceptable booziness skates in for a pleasurable warmth. Carbonation felt good and the ABV felt good as well. Overall, nicely done English strong ale, full of the malts and booze making me think the English would like this one. Would be a nice Winter sipper.
