Spanish Peaks Black Dog Ale

Brewed by Flying Dog Brewery
Style: English Pale Ale
Frederick, Maryland USA

Bottle. A very tasty amber ale. Pours a little on the darker side with a zesty head. The aroma is very fruity and floral. However, the flavors are more on the malty side then you would have guessed. This ale has a great, medium bodied mouthfeel without the loads of carbonation that I would have expected.

Pretty nice pale ale in the highly drinkable balanced mold rather than loaded up with hops. Nice session ale.

average carbonation, creamy, medium body, hay, citrus, amber, hazy, brown foam,

12 oz bottle. Malty sweet aromas, but the flavors were not as nice. Somewhat rough on the finish. Not a big fan, but it wasn’t horrible

Tastewise, this is inferior to the Spanish Peaks Raspberry, but the ABV is a nice medium ground between the Raspberry and the Winter Cheer, though the Winter Cheer is actually a better general beer, it would seem, with a higher ABV (thumbs up to that one).

From Bottle: Flavor is hoppy, has hints of chocolate and carmel. The scent is of hops and malt. decent middle of the road english

12 Oz. Bottle: Well first off the appearance is a dark amber. Poured a minimal white head. Flavor is unremarkable. Nothing to set it appart from any other brew. light body, thin feel, soft carbonation, bitter finish.

Pours a dark clear amber colour with a small off white creamy head. Nose of citrus hops, nuts and toasted malts. Intial taste is light bodied with nuts and mild toasted malts. Finishing with bitter hops on the palate. Minor head retention and lacing of the glass.
