Commercial Description:
Dragonmead uses heather tips imported from Scotland to create this unusual brew. Its malty sweet aroma does not disappoint. Chocolate Malt imparts a great deal of the flavor of this beer but does not over-power the finish, which is defined by the powdery dryness of the heather. All in all, a malty brew with a very clean finish. ABV 5.7%

Tap-Pours dark amber with no head. Very good malt-hop balance with no overwhelming features. Very drinkable ale.

On tap: Light spice in the aroma. Mostly transparent reddish-brown with an off-white head. Roasty malty taste with some hops in the finish.

I only have one brew to compare this to and that is Froach. I would definitely go with the Froach if I had a choice. I was excited about trying a locally brewed take on a heather ale, but I found the heather spiciness to be understated here. Dark amber, with a nice white head. Yeasty spiciness in the aroma along with hops (? shouldn't really be there, should it). A well balanced brew, just not what my palate was anticipating.
