North Coast Old Stock Ale 2008 12oz:
Pours hazy brown with a tint of copper. The aroma is of toasty malt, a whiff of smoke and dark dried fruit. Malty and a touch sweet up front with a fruity mid-pallet and at this point it has a dry hop bitterness at the end which should mellow out nicely with age. This is definitely a grade A beer that should be part of anyone’s beer cellar.
