Lagunitas Undercover Investigaton Shut-down Ale


American Strong Ale, BA calls it. 9.7 % "mild" ale. Yeah.
Here's what I wrote in March 2009:
-------------------------

Clear, bronze appearance, slim whitehead.

Mild fruit in aroma ,apple mostly, a little spicy, minor bitterness. Nice and malty. A little sour.

Tasting, it really feels like a good dark English malty mild ale, but one with a beast in it's belly. You can feel the fire coming up. Really gentle, mellow...and then a nip,a bite...a 9% mild? Here we go...

Very nice, well done, but don't think I could have more than one. Are mild supposed to be 9%?Not sure...not...sure...
