Kuhnhenn Fourth Dementia Old Ale

Brewed by Kuhnhenn Brewing
Style: Old Ale
Warren, Michigan USA

On tap at the Blind Tiger at their Kuhnhenn event. Pours a clear ruby brown with a thin tanned beige head. Caramel, little molasses. Tons of sweetness. Molasses, light honey. Really sweet. A little tough to drink. Finishes with even more sweetness. I wasn’t impressed.

12 oz. bottle - 2007 vintage; dark brown with rosy highlights and thin tan head; musky, rich, sugary and quite dank aromas; thick, almost chewy texture; sugary sweet and lots of citrus in the finish; very nice overall but a little dampened by high expectations

On tap at Blind Tiger. The aroma was ripened fruits, chocolate, toffee. The appearance was a nice purple/red/brown, small off-white head. The flavor was amazing, if only a little too sweet. The flavor was fruit, booze, caramel malts, bread. The finish had a mild hop bittering, the mouthfeel was medium/thick, silky. Very nice beer overall. I think a little aging would improve this beer even more.

2008 bottle from Secret Santa, thanks! 11,8 % ABV. Dark brown color, a big head slowly builds up. Malt, cane sugar, figs and licorice in the aroma. Malty sweet, sugary flavor (cane sugar), hiding the alcohol somewhat. Dried figs,mango, licorice, cinnamon. Citrusfruit even. Interesting old ale wit the massive sweetness hiding the complexity. Sticky mouthfeel.

12 oz bottle thanks to andrew for sharing. Pours a dark amber with a creamy beige head. Oxidized dark fruits, candied, and slightly sour. Cherries, alcohol, dark fruits that are rich, oaky, sweet and boozy. Finish hot from the alcohol and sweet from the malts. The alcohol and dark fruit flavors linger. Solid beer.
