Old Monkeyshine

From a one-year old bottle. Pours clear with an off-white, inch high foam. Retention is about average with nary any foam left behind. Aroma is really mostly nutty malts. Dark fruits also come in after a bit of work. Maybe a hint of toasted malt too. But mainly centered around the nutty malts. Taste follows with nutty and slight toasted malt. Dark fruit, mostly prune/raisin is strong and inviting. Hints of alcohol. Sweet. Medium/heavy body with minimal carbonation: just enough to tantalize the mouth and lips. Dries a bit while making the lips tacky. A nice offering, especially for my first beer from Nimbus. I thought the nose was a bit mild while the fruits in mid sip centered the beer around themselves unnecessarily. Intriguing enough that I would like to try their other offerings. Enjoy!
