Wet Willy Scotch Ale
A: this thing pours a murky, thick orange brown that kind of resembles apple cider. theres minimal head, as well as retention for what resulted from the pour. all thats left after a minute or so is a few pockets of bubbles hugging the side of the glass. S: enormous blasts of oak and a mildly sweet booziness. the room just got overtaken by this beer. really from the second i popped the cap, the alcohol came out. T: the carmelized malts provide a huge flavor profile here, with some undefined spice components. ive had very few scotch ales before so im not sure how to distinguish the different aspects. i feel like the flavors im getting belong with a cold night and a fire in the fireplace. although i cant quite figure this out completely, im rather enjoying it. M: im almost immediately hit by the alcohol, but its more of a warming aspect and i think rounds this beer out. carbonation is on the lower side of the spectrum and yields a rather smooth mouthfeel. the booze comes back in the backend and warms the back of your throat with the return of some interesting spices. aside from the fact this is not what i was expecting, again i cant complain about much here. D: every sip i take brings a new life to this beer and i learn something new, so ill enjoy it all the way through. highly recommended, this is a wicked cool brew!
