Stoudt's India Pale Ale
I have now had this one for the third time and it seem's to keep getting better and unvailing new flavors each time. The head on this beer is so thick and rocky with fluffy lacing from the top of the glass to the bottom. The nose is of rich malt and dark dried fruits with a real nice fruity, heavy floral note. The mouthfeel of this beer is incredible and surrounds your tounge with texture. The hops are adequate but not over the top. It's 7.5% ABV but it really hides it well behind a huge caramel and slightly toasted malt flavor. The hops not as drying in this beer but add a nice well balanced sharpness.The hop flavors are deep and complex with almost a sweet floral finish. If you like English IPA's you will love this one, it's bigger and better than most. The oly drawback is that it is very heavy and filling so drinking a 750ml kind of makes it hard to have more after this one and if you are eating don't bother your full.
