Diablo Dark Ale
6/20/08- Had during my two week Montana vacation. Presentation- 12oz bottle with no freshness info found. Poured into my Duvel tulip. Appearance- Cola like brown colored pour with a 1/2 inch head and very slight lace trails. Smell- Mild nose of dark fruits, chocolate and leafy tobbaco. Taste- Some raisins and dates make there way into the brew with a fairly heavy, but not super sweet caramel malt base. Hops are pretty much non-existant. Flavors meld well together though. Mouthfeel- Light and slightly watery with a mid-range carbonation level. Drinkability- Decent brew and about the texture and flavors I would expect from a less than 8 abv beer of this style.
