Flat Earth Red Cape Ale

The Flat Earth Brewing Company is in St. Paul, Minnesota.  This beer takes its name from the red outfits worn by the infamous Vulcan Krewe that are part of the annual St. Paul Winter Carnival.

The beer pours a dark mahogany brown and ruby red in color.  There is a massive, thick, billowing, head of off-white to very light brown foam.  The aroma is roasted and toasted malt, nutty, then the tang of yeast.  Flat Earth makes yeast forward beers and this is no exception.  The taste is some roasted, toasted, nutty malt, overpowered by the tart yeast.  The aftertaste then allows the nice maltiness through and lets it linger.  A good beer overpowered by too much yeast.
