Old Crafty Hen

From Morland's "Hen" line comes this Superior Fine Vintage Ale. It is 6.5% ABV and imported by Total Beverage Solution.  

The beer pours a deep orange, amber and copper in color, turning almost garnet. There is a half inch of thick and creamy off-white head, but it does not last long. The aroma is roasted malt, nearly burnt caramel, raisins, dried dark cherries, dark toast, with a woody note like a sherry cask. The taste follows the aromas, the semi-sweetness of all the malt is brought to an abrupt and dry end. It is full bodied and smooth, easy to drink, but absolutely full of flavor.  All the flavors linger true in a long, slow aftertaste.
