Ommegang Cup o' Kyndnes
cup o' kindness Traditional Belgian-style Scotch Ale (is that a thing?)
Murky brown appearance, under a creamy-toned, lace leaving, luscious head. Looking good.
Aroma: sweet, nutty, caramel and toffee notes, chocolate malt aplenty. Floral and heather-y, no hops to be found. Gorgeous.
Taste: why, yes, let's drink 'er up. Lightly bitter bracing entry on the palate, a little funky and sour, tingles the tongue, then lets loose the lush malty flavor. I'm a bit surprised, and thought I'd get nothing but sweet malt from this one. I like it. Great little trick on the tongue, then all is mellow and groovy.
Not too high in alcohol, but exceptionally warming
I'll take a cup of kindness yet, in days of auld lang…how's that song go?
