Climax Noel - Imperial Red Ale
Pours a cloudy, deep amber color with a nice big head that doesn't leave any lacing. Aroma consists of fruits - raisins, plums, apricots something of that nature - as well as underlying notes of toffee and molasses. Taste begins with the sweetness of those fruit notes, but is quicly followed by the slight bitterness of roasted malt. Longer finish that is somewhat boozy.
