Guide Review - Tasting Notes and Review of Samuel Adams Longshot Old Ale
This old ale pours with a thick, dense caramel colored head. It is clear with a deep amber color. Its aroma jumps up from the glass with strong, sweet notes of toffee and roasted nuts. The mouthfeel is very silky with a warming alcohol presence. Its deep, complex flavor carries notes of caramel and toffee. The flavor and complexity lingers long in the mouth. Excellent.
