Old Stock Ale 2009 355ml, 11.5% - USA

Poured slightly dark red with a small tan, yellow head.

Boozy aroma with some cherries and malts.

Warm and sweet taste. Brown sugar, prunes, malts, caramel and of course some boozyness. Although it's quite pleasant.

I want to this after being cellared for some time.

Brother Thelonious 355ml, 9.4% - USA

Poured cherry red color with no head.

Dark fruits, cherries, nuts and malts in the nose.

Strong taste, a bit boozy. Dark fruits, mostly prunes and wild cherries. Malty and sweet.

Ruedrich's Red Seal Ale 355ml, 5.6% - USA

Poured amber with a tiny white head.

Hoppy nose with some citrus and malt.

I can say right away that I liked the aroma better than the taste. Sweet malty flavor, some caramel, slightly hoppy with a minor bitterness.

I guess this will work just fine on a hot summer day.
