Hair of the Dog Adam

Hair of the Dog is a brewery from Oregon that likes to name its beers after people, which, although interesting, makes it difficult to determine what is what. All I know is that this is an Old Ale, and it should be good.

This beer pours dark brown with a slight purple tint with decent lacing and a small head that quickly fades into nothingness. Nothing really stands out in the aroma but all in all its very well balanced and includes some sweetness mixed with hops and roasted barley. The taste is very much of the same, starting with a bitter hoppy front and some malty roasted barley mixed it. It then transitions into dark fruits and a slight alcohol finish. This beer is velvetly smooth, a very well balanced ale.
