2012 Black Ale
12 oz bottle into a pint glass. A - Pours very dark, with a 1 fingers tan head with moderate retention. Nice sticky lacing. The appearance definitely confirms the name. Its really dark, Black Ale is appropriate name here. No seeing through this one. S - Roasted malts is all I really pick up here. T - Just like the nose. Roasted malts with just a hint of hops. Rather average, but certainly not poor tasting. Just average. M - Pretty thin, light bodied. Some carbonation presents itself, not overly done. It drinks pretty smooth really but its a little on the watery side overall O - Its a decent beer, not bad, but also not one I would seek out again. Wanted to try it, I did. I can say I gave it a shot and enjoyed it for what it was.
