Bend Outback Old Ale

Brewed by Bend Brewing Company
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Bend, Oregon USA

Sample at the source in Bend, OR--Poured a dark brown-amber body with a small creamy off-white head. Faint nutty, caramel, sweet toffee nose. Not very exciting, but not too bad.

Darker amber. Aroma is caramel, darker fruits, hint of darker malts and hops. Sorta reminded me an American style old ale, if there is such a thing. Definitely not a real English feel here. Decent to drink, but overall not that exciting.

Draft at the Brewpub: Brownish copper pour with a large beige head and nice lacing. Nose is malty and earthy, some sweetness as well. The taste is rich with maltiness, caramel, light bitters, and rye. Even a little smoky. Thought this was one of the pub’s better ales.

On Tap at Brepub pours out a hazy red topped with a off white head. A nice and sweet along with some spice aroma. task just so so.

On Tap at the brewpub. Deep redish brown with a fairly full off white creamy head. Rich woody aromas and flavor. Moderately heavy feel and a slightly bitter finish. Tasty

sampled @ brewpub - cloudy brown with very slight head; aroma is all malts with very slight hint of alcohol; texture is slightly creamy and just a little to bland

Served on tap at the Bend Brewery in Bend Oregon. A quite nice looking "pint".Slightly hazy, chesnut brown, nice sized light tan head. Quite hoopy aroma to this, I think my nose is "bust" I cant get much more. This tastes like a robust, toasty brown ale..some dark coffee flavours too. Quite nice on the palte , perhaps a wee bit on the watery side. A nice beer it goes down very easily.

Had this one from the tap and growler. Maroon/amber body with a fairly thick head. Malty flavor with lots of on the darkish side of caramel flavors. Maybe overdone cotton candy. Good stuff anyhow. Travels well too.
