The nose is robust and
agreeable, with a sizable roasted malt body and some breadlines. The
flavour is rich and roasty--full of malty goodness. On the finish, there
is a slight shuffle toward bitterness, but not quite as far as I'd have
wished.
Despite the iffy can, Old Flame Red
proved to be a really solid take on the Vienna lager. Flavourful and
deep, in a large format, I was more than pleased. This is a brewery I'll
be monitoring in the months to come, since they've shown me that they
can deliver a tricky style with nuance.
