Aroma: Very rich and intense maltiness. Hop character moderate to assertive and often showcases citrusy or resiny
American varieties (although other varieties, such as floral, earthy or spicy English varieties or a blend of varieties, may
be used). Low to moderately strong fruity esters and alcohol aromatics. Malt character may be sweet, caramelly,
bready, or fairly neutral. However, the intensity of aromatics often subsides with age. No diacetyl.
Appearance: Color may range from light amber to medium copper; may rarely be as dark as light brown. Often has
ruby highlights. Moderately-low to large off-white to light tan head; may have low head retention. May be cloudy with
chill haze at cooler temperatures, but generally clears to good to brilliant clarity as it warms. The color may appear to
have great depth, as if viewed through a thick glass lens. High alcohol and viscosity may be visible in “legs” when beer
is swirled in a glass.
Flavor: Strong, intense malt flavor with noticeable bitterness. Moderately low to moderately high malty sweetness on
the palate, although the finish may be somewhat sweet to quite dry (depending on aging). Hop bitterness may range
from moderately strong to aggressive. While strongly malty, the balance should always seem bitter. Moderate to high
hop flavor (any variety). Low to moderate fruity esters. Noticeable alcohol presence, but sharp or solventy alcohol
flavors are undesirable. Flavors will smooth out and decline over time, but any oxidized character should be muted
(and generally be masked by the hop character). May have some bready or caramelly malt flavors, but these should
not be high. Roasted or burnt malt flavors are inappropriate. No diacetyl.
Mouthfeel: Full-bodied and chewy, with a velvety, luscious texture (although the body may decline with long
conditioning). Alcohol warmth should be present, but not be excessively hot. Should not be syrupy and under-
attenuated. Carbonation may be low to moderate, depending on age and conditioning.
Overall Impression: A well-hopped American interpretation of the richest and strongest of the English ales. The hop
character should be evident throughout, but does not have to be unbalanced. The alcohol strength and hop bitterness
often combine to leave a very long finish.
Vital Statistics: OG: 1.080 – 1.120+
IBUs: 50 – 120+ FG: 1.016 – 1.030+
SRM: 10 – 19 ABV: 8 – 12+%
