Beer Review: Eel River Brewing Company Triple Exultation Old Ale

January 31, 2008

Thick.  Dark.  9.7% alcohol.  What, pray tell, is an “old ale”?

It’s very tasty, that’s what it is.  I say again, I’m really not much for describing nuances of beer and I’m more for just saying yay or nay.  This gets a yay.  It reminds me of…something.  It’s very smooth, and doesn’t have the bite that I’d expect from a 10% beer.  I can’t place the taste it’s reminding me of.  I’m not certain if I’ve ever had anything by Eel River thus far, but I’ll be investigating their beers further.

You know what?  Beer reviews really aren’t good back-to-back when you drink entire 22 oz. bottles.
