look: 4.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

This Cocky Ale presented itself quite beautifully. A Reddish hue mix with copper, there was a stout presentable head and loads of carbonation.

The aroma was casual but noticeable. Hints of hoppy pine with a bit of malt, very pleasant but not as strong as I hoped.

The taste is interesting...the pine notes of the hops are evident but I caught a touch of caramel near the end. There's a malt presence but its fleeting and it finishes with the metallic taste of the hops. The metallic taste lingers for too long and lends to a lower impression in mouthfeel.

In all...enjoyable!

look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25

A-a dark amber with a fingers worth of fluffy cream head

S-caramel malt, light grapefruit hops, vanilla

T-caramel malt backbone with sharp bitter hops and vanilla with a bit of oak

M-medium body, medium carbonation, leaves a slight bitter aftertaste

Overall a really nice, interesting, complex beer
