AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
2010 12 ounce bottle. Pours clear red brown color with a 2 finger fairly thick head with good retention and lacing. Aromas of dark malts, dark fruits, chocolate, caramel, and roasted nuts. Taste is of cocoa, caramel, and roasted nuts with a very slight bitterness on the finish. Malt dominated beer, but it is balanced very well with the nice bit of bitterness. Very smooth with medium carbonation and medium body. Nice beer!
Sierra Nevada replaced anniversary ale this year with this. It is a good brown ale, but I haven't had anniversary ale yet, so it made me a little sad.
