I'm not feeling really creative with my leads lately.. here's some beer
Saint Arnold Brewing Company - Divine Reserve #8
a 9.3% ABV Wee Heavy/Scotch Ale brewed in 2009. This is a mainly dead pour.. zero head on top of a rich amber/copper body. There's not much carbonation either.. maybe chalk that up to 3+ yrs in a bottle? Hugely malty and sweet on the nose. This oozes of brown sugar, figs, toffee, caramel, brown bread, raisins and even touches of peat and booze. Slick, sweet, and a touch thick.. this has an amazing mouthfeel and body. Gobs of raisin, caramel, molasses, dark fruits, heavy bready malts.. there's some faded earthy hops that could either be due to the age or the amounts of malts that just dominate this. This has got to be an Imperial something or other cause it's just massive. Take the best Scotch Ale you've had, distill it down, double that.. and you get the ricidulousness that is this uber-rich beer
