Commercial Description:
It may seem like we say this every time we release a Wild Dog beer, but our newest brew really is Flying Dog's most unique beer to date.

Bottle. Red/Copper pour with a small beige head. Aroma is very sweet and malty with a bit of caramel. Smooth malt flavor that’s quite sweet. Fairly decent balance, but tastes a bit watery.

Sweet aroma, smells of wart, raisins, brown sugar, alcohol. Look is dark amber with a thin head with very nice lacing. Very clear. Palate is sticky, sweet candy, bourbon, finish is malt and hops, balance is very nice to this, and liked it.

Bottle… Clear, deep, dark orange lager with a small, fizzy, off-white head. Decent retention. Cocoa and caramel aroma with a tangy, fruity undertone. Full-bodied with a 2% milk mouthfeel and gentle carbonation. Medium, metallic bitterness; light caramel sweetness and ultra-mild, lactic acidity. Lengthy, medium-bitter, slightly metallic finish. A shout goes out to pepsican for shipping this brew to me!

Pours a beautiful crimson red colour with a sudsy off-white head that leaves some spots of lacing. The aroma is muted, but clearly hints at a harsh crytal malt flavour. Notes of berries, illusions of nutmeg, paper, and cherries. The flavour brings about a harsh winter crystal malt profile with carboard, oak, cranberry, caramel, vanilla, cherries and hop bitterness in the finish. The flavours blend well and hide the alcohol well. I don’t love this beer, as it is harsher than it is smooth, but I still feel its its under rated. The mouthfeel is thinner than it needs to be and slightly oily, with a long, slightly cloying finish.

Bottle from Belmont Party. Poured dark reddish brown color with a creamy light brown head that was mostly diminished with fair lacing. Moderate sweet malty and small alcohol aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Moderate sweet malty toasted flavor with an average smooth bitter finish of moderate duration. My expectations where not met with a sweet soft beer.

(750ml bottle) Pours an amber-brown body with a small off-white head. Aroma of light toastiness and caramel. Flavor of mild hops, nuts, and caramel malt. Lacked complexity and quite uninteresting.

Clear caramel colored pour with a slight head. Sweet nose. Palate is too thin. Not much going on in the flavor. A bit of a disappointment.
