Brew Boys – Ace of Spades 5.9% Alcohol
July 26, 2010 – 5:10 pm
I have always been a big fan of the consistently high quality beers that Brew Boys produces. Two months ago I walked for an hour in the the winter rain to the Local Taphouse in Darlinghurst to grab a pint of the Ace of Spades while they had a Brew Boys showcase on, and given the weather this beer didn’t disappoint one bit. The only problem was after tasting it was how was I going to get my hands on some more of the stuff? Luckily a friend had a few bottles spare so I was able to taste again and give it a proper review.
Ace of Spades pours into a glass pitch black with minimal level of carbonation and a small tan coloured head on top. The nose is dominated by the roast coffee, licorice, chocolate and brown sugar aromas. On the palate this beer strikes the drinker as being extremely rich with chocolate, caramel, vanilla and coffee flavours shining through. The flavour profile of this brew comes across as being very balanced, it has a great silky mouth feel, and ends with a very nice sweet cocoa after taste.
Verdict: This is the perfect beer for a cold winters night, if you come across it for sale grab a bottle you will not be disappointed.
Score: 8.8 / 10
