Spanish Peaks Black Dog Ale

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

Used to drink this a lot, but since I’ve tweaked my palate it isn’t as good to me now. It always had a good aroma, color, and fruity malty flavor, but I find it a little thin and bland, even for an EPA.

No head. Copper color. Very fizzy. Some hops there but not much. Cheap tasting.

12.20.02 bottle -recently discovered, ratty notes- brownish amber, some head. Aroma and flavor are a showcase of malts, ripe and fruity with an underlying roastiness. The twist of C-hops does not go unnoticed, but it’s not great.

almost perfect aroma nice hoppy presence with a hint of pine and malts. pured a near perfect amber color with a nice white head. So what happened on the aste initally it was as if i was drinking dial soap. No hops where present in the first few sips. When the hops did emegre it didn’t match the near perfect attributes of the beer.

Dark amber color. Nice head out of bottle. Looks good and tastes good. Nice flavor. Hoppy, malty, full bodied, nice gravity. Very drinkable English Pale Ale. Definitely better beer than a 2.99.

This was good!! nice strong sweet creamy aroma that lasted the entire beer,,nice color, but no head. creamy taste,, alittle watery but good,,good

Poured amber with a frothy head that disappeared in seconds. Malty aroma with light scotch. Taste is lightly fruity and malty. A decent, refreshing beer.

Caramel and nutty malt. Medium brown body. Moderately sweet flavor becomes a lightly sweet, lightly bitter finish. Medium body, watery texture, soft carbonation. The bottom line is: wake me up when we’re finished.
