Samuel Adams Old Fezziwig Ale
Dark brown with ruby highlights. Rich malt nose with aromas of chocolate, coffee, brown sugar, and faint cinnamon. The taste has bitter dark chocolate and sweet roasted malts, and some burnt malts up front and orange in the back. Ginger is apparent but is a bigger factor in the finish where it teams up with some more orange notes. Hop addition is pretty substantial and make for a terrific balance along side the spices. Descent carbonation maintained throughout makes for a nice crisp mouthfeel. Cinnamon notes pick up towards the end. Ive always enjoyed this winter warmer and is one oldest ones that Ive had.
