Commercial Description:
Foxtrot is an exceedingly complex ale brewed with six types of malt, two hop varieties, and one flavorful yeast strain. This dark, unfiltered concoction has upfront notes of molasses and white pepper, a middle filled with a roastiness reminiscent of iced coffee, and a finish layered with a light fruitiness and the delicate flavor of Saaz hops. Recipe by cellerman, Dan Hitchcock. Dark Biere de Garde.

Draft at Redlight Redlight. Pours a lightly translucent, dark chestnut brown color. A small head of taupe colored foam settles to a swirly film with a skinny ring around the rim. Hardly any lacing remains. The nose starts off with darkly toasted, grainy rye and wheat malt. Scorched caramel lends sweetness to the aroma, with bitterness seemingly stemming from the burn on the grain rather than hops. Flavors follow suit, contrasting notes of sweet burnt caramel, toasty biscuit, and various dried grains showing as the main focus. Medium bodied, semi-dry, and just beyond moderately carbonated, the palate neither disappoints or impresses. Eh, decent beer, but it’s far from mind blowing.

Pours a translucent brownish amber with a smaller bubbly off white head that laced. Aroma of peppery notes, banana, toffee, toasted malt, earthy, floral and lots of spicy yeast esters. Flavor of the same. A little thin. But still well done.

Dark brown with a small head. Aroma like a Malta with some spice, pretty nice actually. Taste is sweet with some bubble gum and spice. Some earthyness and nice carbonation. Close to a saison. Nicely done.

Bottle Pours Murky brown with a big light tan head. The head is foamy and lasting. Has a good aroma of malts and pepper. I got a little molasses but very subtle. Has a decent carbonation. The mouthfeel is good. Flavor is balanced very well not too much hops or malts. Has a good sweetness. Has a medium body and a texture this is a little heavier than watery. Has a good strong finish and a great aftertaste. This is a real good beer.
