Colonial Cream & Brown Ale aged in brandy oak spirals
The color of this brew is a deep mahogany. It has a nice layer to it, going from a deep mahogany to a lighter brownish red.
The aroma of this beer is sugary sweet, with hints of cherry. There is also a sense of creaminess on the nose that does appear in the taste.
On the palate the beer has a sweet flavor, and a hit of alcohol. You do get a nice sense of the brandy. the beer also has a smooth creaminess that coats the tongue a little bit. The beer also gives off flavors of toffee, and roasted malt. There is plenty of flavor in this beer.
Overall I thought this beer a pretty good. The alcohol kick is there, and at 9.3% you can understand why, so that will turn some people away. This is a sipping beer, you shouldn't drink it to quickly. Let this beer warm up a little bit too before you drink. The flavors a aroma really come out then.
This one sounds good. And 9.3% doesn't scare me one bit! Justin and I need to pick up some good beers to bring camping next weekend. We'll put this on the list.
