Ithaca Ten Double Red

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

Bottle, as "Excelsior! Ten," shared by someone kind at SL. Dunno, but thanks to whomever. The pour was amber-red, nice big head. The aroma was strong malts, dough and bread, fruits, floral, caramel, yeast. The flavor pretty much followed, sweet, alcohol sits smoothly. Mouthfeel a tad on the sticky side, but decent.

Bottle: Poured a cloudy amber color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and good lacing. Aroma of citrus hops and deep caramel and toffee malt backbone. Taste is also dominated by some deep caramel malt backbone with their sweetness well balance by citrusy and bitter hops. Full body with limited filtration and great carbonation while no alcohol is apparent. Not as complex as I had expected but still very well done and very enjoyable.

soapy big bubble cream head ... lots of piney hops and maple ... very drinkable, the abv is hidden well, but be careful, has a big bold presence that shows its girth ... funny, feels like an anniversary bier .. oh that dog of mine! ... "Ale on Lees" on the side of the bottle, i think so, a big red ale from the US with a nice touch of aged yeast, specail .. i know it is easy to drink, but maybe the thin body helps out to much in this brew, quite a big brew.. the label doesn't lie when it says rich, hard to drink gulp wise, not that you would do that but it is a sipper... very boozy, thick in fullness, thick in gravity but not exactly in the mouth, a tough beernut to crack, i am having trouble finishing the last 16oz ... i enjoyed this beer but at the same time, detest it.. i poured out the remeaining 15oz, to much for me, and for anyone who remotely knows me, thats saying something... damn, a $16 mistake...like when you take mushrooms, it starts out fun but then you trip out and %#$^@ !!!!

Very malty with an immediate aroma of alcohol. Full bodied red-amber colored ale had flavors of caramel, biscuit and floral hops that rounded out this imperial red ale. A very unique yet complex ale.
