Uncle Al?
There was Uncle Al, the Kiddie’s Pal, always suffering a bit from the 40-ounce flu. The McCartney’s Uncle Al was hands across the water. Weird Al might be a fun uncle, and of course a bedtime story from Uncle Alice may invoke nightmares.* Or our favourite history teacher, or teacher of any other subject for that matter, Uncle Alan who once wisely said “There are no bad beers only some you prefer more than others. Slainte.”
This anonymous Al from C’est What and Durham Brewing Co. is none of the above but is in fact the Al who’s Ale we have been indulging in, the cask at hand to be precise, and a member of the Nitro revolution. We have seen a few brews go nitro with some promising results. Time to check out what’s in Al’s cask.
A classic nitro morph of a pour, for both your brewing and viewing pleasure. The end result is a clear amber brew with a full creamy white head. Beauty. A creamy mild malt aroma makes it’s way through the nitro. And it is nitro creamy with a mild malt flavour, very nice. No lager sweet or cocao or expresso, just a nice malt body with a very mild ale crisp finish.
Although I pride myself on being an impartial imbiber, I must admit that a Leafs’ win last night could well have influenced this rating. But I would venture to say that this brew would have earned super suds status any night of the week. Great beer.
