I've tried bottle-conditioned beers before, but this is my first true "cask ale". If this one is any indication I MUST try more.
Pours a color similar to copper or perhaps cherry wood stain. Very light, off white head. A very oaky, woodsy aroma with a hefty malt backbone. Absolutely heavenly. I've never rated a beer a 5 in the taste rating before now. I've had many REALLY good ones, but not one that I'd consider perfect. Until now. Very sweet & malty. Not sure how else to describe it. WOW! Mouthfeel is nice and full of body. Smooth and decidedly unharsh. The only reason i rated this beer a 5 in drinkability is because the numbers don't go any higher. I've never had a beer of this abv go down so smooth and easy. I hope to try some of this again before it's gone.
