Guide Review - Tasting Notes and Review of Samuel Adams Old Fezziwig Ale
Old Fezziwig is clear mahogany in color. The head is thick, dense and rocky with a caramel color. The nose is full of roasted malt. The flavor reminded me a very good ESB. It is full of sweet toasted malt flavors with plenty of balancing hops that linger on the tongue.
