Dark, chestnut born pour with a beer than expected, mocha colored rocky head. Settles to a thin but persistent film on the surface of the beer. Minimal lace. Nose offers all the richness one would expect. Caramel based toffee, with plenty of brown...
Additional notes 08/18/23 2022 Vintage, still a 12oz bottle. Another beer that I never thought I would ever see again, but here we are thanks to the internet (Tavour). 2022 vintage still coming in at 13.5%. No head to speak of which is expected,...
Bought this several months ago, at Hop City, Atlanta, GA and paid the slightly absurd price of approx. $20! The bottle is pretty extravagant, even by ridiculous Rogue standards. My guess is that the price is why there are only 15 reviews before...
This is NOT an Old Ale in my book. I was actually expecting it to be labeled as a Winter Warmer, but it drinks more like an American IPA. On tap at The Irish Bred Pub in Douglasville, GA, USA. Great looking pour with the deep copper, mahogany body...
Pleased to see this beer make it to Hop City, Atlanta, GA. 22 oz bomber. Obviously I was thinking that this would be an Imperial Brown Ale, but apparently it is categorized as an Old Ale here. Pour is a murky brow, Dubbel like color. Not especially...
A very, very interesting beer to say the least, but in the final analysis a bit too much all the way around. Nicely presented, black waxed 750 mL bottle. Seemed to be double-dipped on the wax which made it a pain to get into. Capped underneath....
New entrant to the USA picked up for $3.99 at Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. 500 mL bottle. Pour has a nice, rich brown, tawny body and some excellent head, retention and lace. As expected nose and tastes reflect lots of sweet malts although they come...
Thanks go out to pghlee for saving a growler of this from the recent cask at The Brick Store. He saved this for some of the stragglers that couldn't make it on the previous day for the cask tapping. Jet black, still pour with no sign of life in...
Motor oil pour as usual with no lace, but a nice ring and thin film of mocha head sitting on the surface. Nose is big on the whisky aroma and it is light and tempting - very easy. Obviously a malty monster with plenty of mild roastiness. This is my...
12oz bottle as part of the mixed LONGSHOT sixer, $6.49 @ Cheers, Carrollton, GA, USA. The LONGSHOT six-pack just made it to GA in the last few days. Notched label suggests Best Before June 2007. If I had to blind taste this I would have described...
Firstly I'm unconvinced that this is an Old Ale. If you read the label carefully, and consult the brewery web site, it classifies it as an "Olde English Ale" which is significantly different to an Old Ale. This is really an ESB or a Winter Warmer....
2002 Vintage. Beautiful, deep, alcoholic, fruity Port based aroma that promises a great deal. The appearance and the taste slightly fail to reach those expectations, but because the smell is so spectacular that wasn't really that suprising or that...
Delicious. A fantastic combination of malt, dark fruits and alcohol with a little chocolate thrown in on the top. There's a lot of richness about this beer which actually reminds me a lot of the Celebrator Doppelbock. Black, thick pour with very...
2006 Vintage, Showcase Beverage, Carrollton, GA, USA, a great price at $8.99 a four pack. This is listed at 13.25% ABV, bigger than previous vintages so I am a bit confused as to why this is not listed as a different beer in the database (surely...
