Black Sheep Ale (Special)
1pt. .9 oz bottle &gt; Samuel smith Pint glass A hazy, orange-hued golden amber color, pretty pale with nice depth. Really lively carboantion rushes up to create a tight, rocky, cream colored head. wonderfully slow dissipation, easily 2" high and doesn't get much smaller very fast. Lacing is sticky. The aroma is mild but very effective, dark toffee, loaf of rye bread, all-spice, gentle, herbal hops and roastie wheat; corn meal and a classic buttery English yeast...much like Shipyard. One word comes to mind: Hearty. The flavor's are mild but they are all in wonderful balance with a pale, crisp malt that has a wheat and rye bready effect, all spice and gentle green herbs ride in with the hops and adds depth. Crispy, light and dry, very clean feeling, perhaps a bit watery. The English yeast adds a buttery, slick taste that is very much like the Shipyard Brewing co. house yeast. Ends sour and dry. A really nice session brew with gentle flavor's that really work together.
