Review - Gritty McDuff's Halloween Ale
"Technically speaking, this ale can be described as an Extra Special Bitter. What that really means is that more of everything that goes into our bitter is added to the Halloween Ale -- more imported barley and more fresh Goldings hops from East Kent in England. This strong ale is also given some extra time in the conditioning tank, allowing it to mellow considerably." --Gritty McDuff's Brewing Co.
This pours a dark amber, caramel color with a minimal, off-white head. Fully diminishing head with hardly any lacing. Aroma is malty, smells tasty. Initial taste is lightly bitter, which lasts right through to the finish with an average duration. Light on the mouth, it has a watery texture with soft carbonation.
