Stingo

(today's advent beer)

English ale
Boulevard Brewing (Kansas City, MO) and Pretty Things Beer & Ale Project (Somerville, MA ) collaboration
750ml bottle, 8.5%abv

Pours dark brown with a thick lingering tan head.

Aroma is malty and rich with lots of complex spicy chocolate and toffee notes.  A slight hint of alcohol as well.

Flavor is likewise malty and rich, but balanced.  Definitely all about the malt.  A teensy bit of pleasant sourness too.

Mouthfeel is medium and surprisingly crisp and sharp with a really nice balance. Clean slightly bitter finish with a moderate lingering astringency.

Really, really nice beer.  Super tasty.
