Beer Tasting: Middle Ages Wailing Wench Ale
Middle Ages Brewing Co. - Wailing Wench Ale
Have you tasted this beer? Let us know what you think. As a suggestion, try to keep it to as few as words as possible for each of the following; appearance, smell, taste, mouthfeel and drinkability.
Appearance
Bryan: settles down to a 1/2" (1.25 cm) head; dark coloring
Adam: copper, persistent head
Smell
Bryan: sweet malty aroma at 50F; maintains the nose as it warms; not much in the way of hop aroma
Adam: big nose, hoppy and sweet, better as it warms. I almost sucked up all that beer with my nose ;-)
Taste
Bryan: a trace of malt flavor upfront quickly turning to mouthful of hops, finishing with a bitter hop flavor
Adam: cool = some malt & all hops, warmer = well balanced hops & malt
Mouthfeel
Bryan: smooth and full of both texture and taste
Adam: felt like sand....OK...OK...it didn't. No note on mouthfeel.
Drinkability
Bryan: becomes even more balanced and drinkable as it warms after approximately 15 minutes
Adam: Nothing offensive. Love that nose.
Seconds?
Bryan: Yes, and maybe even thirds. This beer makes me happy :)
Adam: Yes, please.
