20oz pint at Hudson's Oliver location.
This beer appears a clear, dark orange brick amber colour, with one finger of loosely foamy and mostly soapy beige head, which leaves some low-lying headland lace around the glass as it quickly abates.
It smells of sweetly bready caramel malt, a bit of additional sugary raisin character, hard water notes, and leafy, earthy, and mildly perfumed hops. The taste is more saccharine caramel, toffee, and muddled black fruit sweetness, a soft earthy flintiness, leafy, weedy hops, and a bristling metallic alcohol.
The carbonation is fairly low-key in its understated frothiness, the body a sturdy medium weight, and more or less smooth, a wee creaminess arising as it warms. It finishes on a tempered sweet malty run, the burgeoning, but still bridled booze picking up the hops' fumble.
Pretty much what one might expect for something called a 'Strong Red Ale' - big, malty, and warm, if you're really lucky. No overly notable phenolic off-flavours, and actually easy enough to drink - simple is as simple does, eh, Big Rock?
