Hand crafted by 8 brewers working in 4 teams, this American-Style Strong Brown Ale was developed from their individual recipes and carefully blended into one distinctive ale. 8-4-1 Expedition Ale is brewed using pale, caramel, chocolate, black and smoked specialty malts then dry-hopped to give it a unique profile. Complex flavor notes will deliver malty sweetness, medium bitterness with hints of smoked flavors and oak chips balanced by the addition of honey, brown sugar and candi sugar.

Aroma - this one has it all. Breakfast cereal, smoke, honey, brown sugar, butty and milk chocolatey. Crazy good aroma.
Appearance - clear dark amber body, 3" beige head, creamy with really beautiful lacing
Taste - raisins, toffee, kinda woody, caramel, a nice showing of chocolate with the alcohol burn kept well in check.
Palate - creamy smooth, supple with a slightly sticky mouthfeel
Overall - a very nice suprise from Redhook and a success with their Limited Release series. A nice beer to finish the evening off. -

still expecting more from RH's limited series. Not sure why. This was pretty standard beer...nothing deserving of a special release. nice looking. dominated by muddled sweet malt and too much brown sugar. the honey makes an appearance as do the bitter hops, but a bit too late. an average beer that costs more than many great ones.

A deep mahogany colored ale. . A medium creamy textured, tannish head rises above. Some hang time, but little lacing. A thin ringlet stays around for awhile. Lite nose of some sweet caramel. Medium bodied. Some smoothness. Decently carbonated. The flavors are sweet, sugar, molasses and some alcohol. Not a WOW beer. But drinkable.

Sampled on 4/16/2010. This American Strong Ale pours a medium to dark brown color from a 22oz bottle. Medium to full sized white foamy head. The aroma is malty, nutty, with a touch of wood. A medium bodied Imperial Brown/American Strong Ale. The malts are caramel, nutty and bready. The hops are earthy. A touch of oak and a touch of honey. Nice carbonation. A like smoke maybe. Interesting beer. A touch of honey shows up at the finish. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter with a touch of wood.
