OMFG! It is GOOD!
I honestly didn't have high hopes for the Ale of Ulthar. I tasted it before it went in the bottle last week and it was bitter as hell and left a mildly medicinal after-taste that was a bit off putting. I just cracked one open to taste it and see what I had to look forward to. It has mellowed a lot after a bit of carbonation and sitting alone in the dark. It is pretty damn tasty actually. It has a woody and smoky flavour that I didn't get much of before and the medicinal after taste is both shorter and a lot better, more of an herbal flavour. I am very excited about it. I was so worried that I was about to have 5 gallons of completely undrinkable swill. Oh, no, this is a good batch and I will be proud to give bottles of it to my friends.
knockabout how about that label? This baby deserves one, if for no other reason than because it had every right to taste terrible and doesn't.
