Ten Penny Ale Reserve the much stronger version of our original Ten Penny recipe. This beer is a dark brown ale, topped by a thick, loose tan head. The smells of roasted grain and toffee are the first things you will notice with your nose when you crack open the bottle. The tasting experience begins with a splash of caramel like flavor on the tongue, but quickly melds into a full bodied roasted-malt taste. As you savor this fine ale you will also encounter subtle hints of chocolate and a smoked-malt essence. After you have finished your bottle you will realize this beer is truly a wonderful merging of high alcohol content and rich full body flavor that will make you want another pint to drink.

Opened the swing top and there was still residue on the mouth of the bottle... not too appealing but when i poured it, it quickly got better. A dark beer with a tan/white head. Tasted it and loved it. Had a very smooth taste for a beer with 10%ABV (although I am skeptical of this) and left me wanting to take another sip. With a price tag of 10 dollars per bottle, it is expensive but well worth it for the beer lover.
