LongShot Old Ale
Big thick deep brown ale with lots of tan foam and nice lace. Actually, great lace considering the abv. This one reminded me of a dopplebock in many ways. The body is thich, huge, creamy, and oily. Big big rich rich malty nose, resembling a big bock. Huge mix of flavors, mostly butterscotch, malt reduction, mild noble hops, and sugar daddies. Fun to drink, but I was expecting something more along the lines of an English Old Ale, and this was like a big thick alt or dopplebock instead. Well, it's insanely well-balanced, with no signs of alcohol, not even burn (although the thickness and maltiness give it away). Carbonation lost its vigor after a while, but was easy to stir back up again. Make sure you're very well hydrated before tackling this one, because it will slow you down. I'd recommend it at about 45F to keep the drinkability in check. Recommended. Cheers!
