Kevin
brought this back from a trip out West
Notes
: Available around the winter months
Story
: This beer was consumed on a really hot summer day – really
hot day. So the conditions of
drinking this were probably not ideal, but Kevin and I still gave it a shot in
the heat.
Appearance
: The beer poured out a reddish oak colour with a
thick cream coloured head.
Smell
: Old Jackalope has a strong oak scent followed with a
noticeable tinge of alcohol and malt.
Taste
: The nose matched up well with what was hitting my
taste buds. This beer has a ton of
flavour with oak, malts, dark fruits, and a slight amount of alcohol that is
noticeable. It warmed quickly in
the sun and the dark fruits and alcohol became a more pronounced flavour.
Mouthfeel
: Considering we switched from a very light summer
beer to this my take on the body may be off. Old Jackalope probably has a medium body but it felt very
full bodied due to our inept ability to drink the right beers in the right
conditions that day.
Drinkability
: This beer was very tasty, albeit not conducive
to +25 weather outside – definitely a winter beer. I would like to check out more beers by this brewery.
