Pour is a mid to dark brown, thinnish looking beer. The head is initially better than expected, but drops away to give almost no head apart from a thin film. Nose offers some light caramel notes and some fairly feint alcohol. Given the 10.3% ABV, I...
12 oz single from the Longshot pack. A nice looking pour that gives a simple, brown, clear beer with some pretty good carbonation considering the ABV. Head and lace are both adequate and better than I anticipated. This beer is nowhere near as...
Impressive presentation, but also an impressive price (between $13 and $16), but when you consider the beer is being sold as a vehicle to make money for what they consider a good cause, it makes it slightly more palatable. Slightly. Hand numbered...
12 oz single from Total Wine, Kennesaw, GA, USA. Old Ale? Not by any stretch of the imagination! Decent dark brown pour with some orange highlights at the edges. A pretty nice head straight out of the bottle, but retention and lace (although there)...
