Cinnamon Treacle Old AleAppearance: Dark with a billowing head, The pour may have been a bit too aggressive as the head was just billowing.
Aroma: Neutral, not too much going on except the sweet smell of caramel malt.
Flavor: Neutral; Pretty Mild not enough treacle or cinnamon.
Mouth: Really good, Just the right amount of carbonation
Overall: Mild, this would be a good mild, not too flavored, not too booze, not too hoppy, very neutral. The next iteration of this style will be a bit more treacly, maybe some treacle in secondary, I dunno. It needed more dark treacle.
Rating: I sure made a great mild. Too bad I was shooting for an old ale. This needed something, more cinnamon, more treacle, bourbon barrel aging, something... I'd give it a C for average, because that's what it was.
