Nimbus Old Monkeyshine
Thanks to Solomon420 for the chance to try this offering. A: Pours brown with a slight reddish tint to it. Nice frothy one finger off caramel colored head. Excellent retention. Sweet glass lined lace. S: Aromas of dark frut hit the nose first followed by hints of sweet caramel and roasted coffee. T/M: Roasted coffee notes cross the tastebuds first with a nice dose of hops. A bit of sweet chocolate and caramel mingle in there also. Extra creamy and smooth through the mouth like a soft brush. Very low carbonation allows the flavors to really come out. Sweet caramelized sugar ending with a dryness to it. Excellent tasting brown. Abv is highly masked but a slight spicyness can be felt at the end of the beer. D: Bigtime thanks to Damian for sending me a bunch of these. Very happy I've got a few left. A good change of pace in these hot summer months. Highly recommended.
