2012 Black Ale
Surprisingly viscous and the darkest of brown in color with just a ring of foam around the glass. Rich malty nose with caramel and milk chocolate and lactose sweetness. A cookie/candy like nose. Sweet and dessert like. Quite mouthwatering. Very imperial brown ale tasting. Big malty presence with a hint of toastiness. Loads of caramel, some milk chocolate, lactose sugar and some nuttiness. Tastes like brown ale meets milk stout. Picking up a mild sour note every hear and there. Nothing off putting though. Medium bodied with a chewy texture. The carbonation is a bit harsh at the front end and transforms to a more creamy feel. Clean finish. This tastes and feels like a brew around seven or eight percent alcohol. Really flavorful for a beer of this abv. Drinks nicely as I could have a couple two or three of these. A nice sessionable winter beer perhaps. Kudos to Point on this one.
