The color of a well used copper penny with an offwhite head. Aroma is sweet, toffeeish malt, a hint of red delicious apple, earthy hops, and faint alcohol.
Damn. Someone just sent me across the pond. Starts out with a beautifully sweet and toasty toffee flavor that is supported by an earthy hoppiness that is just so delicious. Background hints of red delicious apple and just enough alcohol to remind you of its strength. Lots of "alefruit" to quote Lew Bryson. Very faint single-malt-scotch like warmth. Incredibly well integrated. What I absolutely love about this beer is that it is so unabashedly British in style and execution. If you like west coast hopped American barleywines you won't find it here. Finishes as it starts, with a lingering toffee and earthy hop flavor and again a lingering mild afterburn. Properly chewy mouthfeel.
Just an amazingly enjoyable end of the evening pint.
