Mogul Madness Ale
From a brown 22 oz. bomber, abv listed as 6.8%. Pours out a deep translucent chestnut hue, tall chunky off-white head with impressive retention and lots of sticky lacing. The aroma is mostly hops, floral, light citrus, light herbal, dry earthy malt lingers in the background. Hops from front to back, some dry herbal and earthy astrinency in the middle that builds momentum towards the finish and then subsides slowly in the aftertaste. Smooths out considerably as it reaches room temperature, dry malt and bitter herbal hops, some citrus on finish, but the aftertaste still remains very astringent. Medium-full mouthfeel, mostly smooth with some graininess, sharp carbonation on the finish, dry astringent aftertaste. Astringent is the key word for this dark hoppy ale, you get it coming and going from both the malt and the hops throughout. Gets a bit boring after a while, can't say I'd pick up another one.
