21st Amendment & Ninkasi Allies Win the War!
8.5% ABV
I was pretty excited about this beer when I first heard about it. 21st Amendment and Ninkasi? I read a review where it was raved about. When I asked someone about it, they said it was ok. Took me awhile before I tried it.
Poured dark ruby amber into my Hilliards pint glass. The head was large, frothy and light brown with good lacing.
Smelled like toffee and dark fruits. It also said there are dates, but since I am not quite sure what dates smell like I will take their word for it. Another word I have for it was sweet (I am taking this from notes).
It kind of reminded me of a flat IPA. Almost like there is supposed to be a stronger hop profile, though I know that isn't what the style calls for. When it warmed up it kind of reminded me of a barleywine.
It was interesting, and I will have to try it again. Mainly because I want to see what else I get from the taste, and because I spilled half of it on my carpet.
