Ninkasi - Sleighr Dark Double Alt Ale (7.2% ABV)


Ninkasi - Sleighr Dark Double Alt Ale (7.2% ABV)
- Hardly any aromatics at all when opened or poured
- Dark nearly black color .. light just barely penetrates it
- Medium mouthy feel .. not creamy, rich or velvety
- Mmmm .. this is very nice .. not overly malty alcoholy, nor hoppy bitter, or flat
- I really like this .. I was expecting something rich, smooth, malty alcohol winter ale
- I'd get this again & again .. 8.5/10

American Brewing Co. - Breakaway IPA (7.2% ABV)


American Brewing Co. - Breakaway IPA (7.2% ABV)
- Light flowery hops aromatics
- Golden amber color, slight haze to it, fluffy dense head, almost looks like nitrogen head
- Mmmm, medium almost creamy mouthy feel, starts off lightly bitter-sweet, goes down nice
- Aftertaste has trailing bitter hops that linger on for a while, not face twisting bitter
- Maybe a very slight orange/lemon peel bitterness
- Different IPA .. it's kinda nice .. might buy it again, 6.5/10
