Smithwick's Ale
An above average dark red ale. This beer was presented to me at the Claddagh Irish pub in downtown Montreal, QC. This beer had a wonderful blood-red, black colour with a huge, frothy nitro head. It smelled of roasted malts and some bittering hops. The taste is very simple, but very good. This beer has many roasted flavor notes as well as some caramel and chocolate malt notes, and some slight hop flavors. The mouthfeel is very smooth and super creamy. The drinkability is also very good. A definite session beer. It's a shame that this is not available in the U.S... Cheers!, F.
