Sam Adams Longshot 2006 homebrew competition: Old Ale (Don Oliver)

From BEER_webalbum

Some student dude from Cali made a pretty nice little ale. It's a little on the overly-sweet, toffee-maltish side, but it's 10.6% abv, is very rich and tastes nice in small sips. It doesn't smell like much. If you sniff hard enough, you get a little of the toffee malts. Nice "mahogany" as they call it color, and good head at the beginning (though not much retention). This is probably my favorite of the 3 2006 winners.
btw, I'm tired of making labels for posts, so I quit.
