O'so Dank Imperial Red Ale
O'so Dank Imperial Red Ale. O'so Brewing Company, Plover, WI.
Dark, a rich burgundy hue, murky, and looking every bit "dank." Utterly opaque, with a tight, slim head.
Aroma: A little sweet, a little sour. Deep and fruity, raisins, plums, and dates. Dense malt flavors arise, as well. Interesting stuff, this is. Rich, intriguing malt, nice blast of hops. Alcohol unknown, but it should be 8 % or above. Feels like it.
A complex and tasty brew, although it's a bit of murky mess as well. Not that I actually mind. "Imperial Red Ale" isn't a category with any by-laws or restraints, so far as I know. All that matters is "did you like it?" And I did. Do. Do did. Like it, I mean.
