New Albanian Community Dark

Brewed by New Albanian Brewing Company
Style: Mild Ale
New Albany, Indiana USA

A deep dark pour with a light slightly off white head that is short lived. A hint of malt in the nose is all I could pick out but detected nothing off center. A flavor with a lot of malt with a twangy sort of bitter that is unusual though pretty good. Carbonation was a bit active for me compared to the rest of their beers. Not special but not bad. I’m glad I tried it.

Draught. Pours the amber side of black with very thin off-white head. The aroma is faintly hoppy with a little bit of molasses. The flavor is light bitterness, some weird herbal tones, distant roast, and some bread. Meh.

On draft at Sportstime pizza. Rather opaque reddish tint. Tan head. Full bodied with hints of cola and cocoa. :ive;y flavor and very fresh. Toasty bready flavors. Solid brew...And tasted again at the St Louis Microfest in a JW Lees firkin. Filtered and dark amber hued. Tight ring of off-white head. Aromas of grainy malty breads, honey, vanilla and a lotta oak! I actually said, "Oh my God!" outloud. Sweet nose and big malts. Thick and sugary sweet. Lotta oaky woody notes. Anise and raisins. Great complexity and a great experience!

on tap at rich o’s. this beer arrived and looked a deep burnt black color with a thin grey head. the aroma and flavor lacked considerably and tasted more bitter than rich. the body also lacked any feel.

Tap at rich o’s. Drunk with a retired newspaper editor named David who is now a sculptor who discussed life and travel with me, a pleasure to meet you, sir. Yep, it’s dark. Not pitch black by any stretch, but close. Head was thin light & gray, but lasts. Smells of caramel, & strawberry. Taste is a bit of roast coffee, some maraschino cherry & smoked meat. I wouldn’t expect these flavors to work, but they do, well. I could happily drink a few pints in the right company. Lingering meaty roast flavor. Chocolate emerges late in this.

Tap - poured opaque brownish balck with light head. Had mild malty aromas and flavors. tasted a bit like newcastle with more umph

This draft brew from Rich O’s poured a small sized head of fine to medium sized mostly lasting light brown colored bubbles that left behind an unnoted lacing. The body contained no carbonation and dark ruby red brown in color. Its aroma contained notes of very mild malts. Its mouth feel is bock like and smooth. Its flavor contained sweet malty malt hops and true beer flavor.

Tap. Light malt aroma. Opaque black-brown color with nice head. Light smokey chocolate malt flavor. Light body. A very nice mild ale - flavors and aroma subtle but smooth and well blended.
