Once Upon a Dark and Stormy Night...


It was a Dark and Stormy Night - no really, there's thunder outside and everything. I'm kidding, but there is Dark and Stormy Night by Picaroons Traditional Ale of Fredericton, NB, Canada on the table. Picaroons has produced this this deep reddish-brown ale that is a hybrid between a German dunkel and an English ale. It has a head that is off-white and slightly mocha with a light aroma of roasted barley with sweet, butterscotch notes. This ale has a slightly creamy texture and is lightly carbonated. The taste is wheat and roasted barley with a light, sweet caramel flavor.

This is a very easy drinking ale with a balanced flavor and light body.

My rating: 3.5/5
