FROM THE LABEL: " BOATSWAIN (b'osun) beers are unique brews made in small batches. Our ale has aromas and flavors of sweet roasted malt balanced with moderate bitterness coming from the high levels of hops."

 

 

FROM THE MOUTH: AMERICAN STRONG ALE: Aroma: Flat coke, amaretto- vanilla and espresso. Taste is rich- lots of dark caramel malt flavors, dark fruits, vanilla, a drag of smoke and finishes with a quick bite of espresso- sounds like I am talking about a porter or stout? Malt front with a hop back. Nice smooth carbonation. I enjoyed it more as it warmed, the flavors blended well. A
