Drank from a 1 pint 6 fl oz red wax dipped bottle purchased at Five Churches Brewing Company, New Britain, CT
Served in a tulip
Big thanks to my sister Vanessa for grabbing me this bottle.
Viscous, pitch black appearance. The motor oil-like body was topped by a frothy, finger-tall, saddle brown head that dropped to a thick, bubbly, lasting collar. A few dots of lacing trickled down the sides of the glass.
The aroma was a bit underwhelming initially but improved considerably with time. Roasted malts were apparent. Somewhat smoky and campfire like. Semisweet chocolate was also noticeable. As the beer warmed, the nose intensified and the beer turned sweeter and more rounded. Boozy notes also came through strong. Some vanilla and sweet cream were detectable as well. On the second pour, the sweet, boozy notes intensified. This reminded me more of rum barrel than whiskey barrel aged.
The flavor profile was a slightly punchier and boozier version of the nose. Malty and robust up front. Nice melding of roasted and caramel malts. Slightly smoky. Vanilla was noticeable in the center. Perhaps some marshmallow too. Boozy whiskey-like notes appeared on the back end and crescendoed in the finish. More lingering roasted malts and sweetness after the swallow.
Nice rich, creamy, fuller bodied mouthfeel. Slick and smooth on the palate. After just a few sips, the sugars in the beer deposited a super sticky film on my lips.
Coles Road have been garnering some attention lately in the Connecticut beer scene, and this collaborative effort with Five Churches was very solid. My only hang up with it was the steep ($25) price point.
