Pours a cloudy dark maple syrup colour with a short off-tan head with tiny bubbles. Aroma is a demerara sugar nose with liquorice and molasses and spices. First sip is rich and smooth, quite sweet. Hints of maple syrup wood and dark caramel. Mouthfeel is light but with a good amount of stickiness. Good heat from the alcohol. Aeration brings out deeply toasted bread and dark caramels.
Impressions: Fail, So-so, Pass, Exceptional
Cost: 5/6 PASS
Colour: 5/6 PASS
Beer Style: 5/6 PASS
Re-Order: 5/6 PASS
Experience: 5/6 PASS
Final Thoughts:
Of all the Cowbell beers I have tried this is the best. A tasty beer and one that should be aged for a few years. Cowbell suggests that it can be aged as long as 10 years.CJT
