Commercial Description:
The Churchyard Ale is a strong/scotch ale. Large amounts of two-row pale gives this deep mahogoney hued ale a prominent malt flavor ending with an obvious alcohol influence. This strong ale is bittered with Bullion hops and finished with Willamete hops.

This beer poured with a dramatic cascade from the beer engine. It has a deep copper color with a tight, creamy head. It has a sweet, malty flavor with nice body. Very smooth all the way down.

Now we are talking. This beer has a bold caramel aroma and flavor. Body is full and rich. Creamy smooth mouthfeel. Very nice and balanced beer with lots of flavor.

On tap at the Wynkoop Brewery 9/27/06. Very clear, light amber color. Thin, light tan head. Aroma is light caramel and toffee, very light hops. Flavor is malty, toffee upfront with a smooth bitter finish. Palate is a little thin. I don’t think they’re using scottish yeast on this....would be better if they did. Overall, a nice beer--good flavor/aroma, but a little dry in the finish.

Sample at the brewpub. This beer is a dark brown color with a thin and rocky white head that burns away pretty quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel and candied fruit as well as some malt. Flavors of caramel malt and toffee along with some sweet fruit. The finish is smooth and sweet with a caramel malt aftertaste, along with a touch of hops. Overall this is a unique take on the style, and it is a pretty good beer.

Draught @ Wynkoop Brewing Company in Denver, Colorado. Indeed, it does have an attractive mahogany color, with a wispy covering cream. Lightly peaty, malt-accented aroma, with hints of malty goodness (caramel and toffee), as well as hints of molasses and gummy fruits, mainly dried grapes (before they become raisins). Flavor is lightly malty acidic and very toasty, with an easy-going peat malt presence, but definately not smoky. Leathery and soft palate, with a variety of fruit flavors. Another pretty tasty beer from Wynkoop.

Draught at the brewpub. Clear garnet color with a thin white head that didn’t leave any lace. Light malty caramel aroma accented by a whiff of alcohol. Slightly sweet on the tongue with a touch of roasted malt. Carbonantion was on the low side which was a bonus.
