Beer Tasting Notes: DAB DARK

Greetings,

Another bottle from the back of the fridge...

 

DAB DARK

Appearance: a dark amber, almost read through topped with a very rocky white almost sandy colored head of the regular.  But firm, bubbles.

Aroma: a very slight burn caramel malt aroma that between zip lip and knows doesn't change much.

Mouth feel: this is not a heavy beer.  The carbonation helps to give it a creamy, full mouth feel.

Flavor: initial impression reflects much of the aromas, first elected.  Either the flavors are very well balanced or there is very little of either one.

Finish: there is not much to this finish.  A very slight residual impressions of hops and a slightly more impressive malt flavor does not linger long.

Comments: I must first of all apologize to this beer.  It'd been hiding in the back of the refrigerator, for I don't know how long.  It does have a distinctive FL in dark green on the top of the cap. I doubt that this means it came from Florida, but I just don't know.  All in all it was not a disappointment and showed no signs of either oxidation or major deterioration.  In short, this beer was a survivor.

Cheers!
