Been taking advantage of the nice beer lineup at the Kinsale, since it is right next to my apartment.
This American strong ale is very dark for the style, almost black. Very sweet, dessert-like aroma.
Some chocolate flavor right off, with maybe some maraschino cherry, but more the chocolate side of the malt. A little roasty. The unique point here is the taste of burnt caramel. Maybe butterscotch too. Distinctly burnt, in any case.
Ultimately pretty simple, but nice. I think of this as a manlier dessert beer.
