Avery Samael's Oak Aged Ale






Seahawks are on tv. Time for a beer.

Avery Samael's Oak Aged Ale English Barleywine
15.47%

Rusty, almost reddish orange looking. Kind of murky. Very effervescent. Small, foamy head. Very beautiful looking beer. I can't stop looking at it. I'm serious. Very sweet smelling beer. I get dark fruits, caramel, vanilla, brown sugar. Lots going on in the nose. Taste like it smells. Sweet. While it is 15.47%, you can taste the alcohol but it is hidden well. It is really a sipper. Medium to bigger body, feels sticky (I never really understood what that meant when I read that in other beer reviews but now I get it. Sticky like a sugar soda.) Fucking great beer.

This is where I realize that while I love beer, I am horrible at describing it. This is a big beer and demands respect. There is a lot going on.
