Longshot Old Ben's Ale


This is the 2nd of the Sam Adam's longshot beers and I hope for better. Old Ben's Ale pours out a dark copper color and has a burnt sugar nose. Wow, this is a sweet beer with strong molasses and caramel. There's also hop tingling around the edges, but this ones all about the malts. Bold flavors and a strong lingering finish. It's also got a strong 8% alcohol which I fully support. For such a rich full bodied beer it's very drinkable. You could enjoy a few of these. I like this way better than the Barleywine. One more to try.
