DC Brau The Stone of Arbroath Limited Release Scotch Ale, brewed and canned in Washington DC by DC Brau Brewing, LLC. 6% alc. by vol. "serve in a tulip, goblet, or enjoy from the can." Okay, so, whatever, then. I'll try the tulip or goblet.
Appearance: dark brown coloring, slim dark head.
Aroma: Malt-forward, rich, mineral-y, sweet with notes of cocoa and coffee. Caramel. Nicely balanced.
Taste: Full body, rich malt, multiple layers of deliciousness. Cocoa and coffee once more, spilling tasty malt flavors all over the palate. This is a sweet one, but with plenty of hop bitterness, too. Caramel and toffee mingle with delicate dark fruits. I like it. It's good beer, and I can surely drink it.
Hey, there's an explanation for the ominous sounding name on the can, let's read it…."for centuries the Drosten Stone has remained shrouded in mystery. Scholars can not agree on the origin of this rock. The inscription "Drosten: Ipeuoret (E)ttfor Cus" is just as much of an enigma as the rock itself. This beer, as well, is such a conundrum. Please don't ponder it's existence for centuries as you would assuredly go insane. Just be happy it exist."
Well, thanks for clearing that up, fellas.
(thanks to Dave Anderson for the can!)
