Unplugged Abt
A - Cloudy dark brown accented by ruby edges. The brew is hugely sediment laden, big black chunks lay across the bottom of my pint glass. All of this topped by a slightly darker than off white one finger head. Very nice head retention with a nice veil of lacing down the inside of my glass. S - Not highly aromatic, what I do get from the nose are aromas of dark fruit and just the slightest bit of caramel malt. The dark fruit comes through more and more as the brew warms. T & M - That dark fruit comes through first and foremost but is accentuated by the sweet malt and a touch of spice, clove perhaps? The alcohol is very well hidden, I'm very impressed by that considering this is 9.75% ABV. Medium bodied and creamy. Finishes with a nice crisp and clean ending. D - A very nice Quadrupel. The ABV makes it not so much sessionable, but this one could trick you into thinking it's not as big as it really is. I could sit down with friends and easily down a 4 pack of this...I would probably not drive so straight afterwards though. Another very well crafted brew from New Glarus!
