Wynkoop Captain Hickenloopers Flying Artillery Ale

Drank it at Wynkoop from the tap (well in a glass). A pleasant, well-hopped but smooth and flavorful ale. Malt flavors got better as it warmed up - I ordered it while I had a stout and let it warm up!

From the Jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 11/10/2007 White head. Fruity aroma. Mid brown coloured hoppy fruity and a little rich on the palate. Crisp and bitter malt finish.

Tap @ Wynkoop: Poured a mostly clear deep copper-brown color with an off-white head an nice lacing. The hops are strong and cover most of the malt. Some fruity character as well. The flavor was malty with caramel and fruit. Some sweetness. Hoppy middle and finish. Nice warmth.

At the 2007 Big Beer, Belgians, & Barleywines Festival in Vail. Pours brown with a thin off-white head. Has a roasted chestnut aroma. A malty thick palate with a tingly long finish.

On tap @ Wynkoop poured a hazy dark brown with a minimal amber head.Aromas of chocolate, carmel, toffee and a hint of nuts. Palate was light bodied and smooth. Flavors of nuts, carmel and light chocolate with a smooth finish.

One of my favorite beers of all time. Dark in color with a smooth and distinct flavor.

On tap at the Wynkoop Brew Pub. Poured a darker brownish / orange color with a small sized off white head. Aromas and tastes of caramel, roast, chocolate and I swear I was getting some type of spices in there. Sweet finish. Light lacing left on the glass.
