Victory 10 Year Alt: 24

Taste: 8 Finish: 8 Visual: 4 Aroma: 4
Total: 24

Victory celebrates it's 10 years with a fantastic Alt brew. It's a style I hope to see more of.

It pours a medium brown color with a mild head. The aroma is of light chocolate and ripe fruit.

It has a good sweet flavor upfront. A bit of honey. Some red ripe fruit. In the mid the mild chocolate surfaces and then moves into moderate hops at the finish. At the very end is a bit of alcohol on the breath.

It's a nicely complex brew that sort of has the characteristics of a porter with the finish of a medium IPA. So sweet and chocolate upfront, but bitter hops to finish. Great.
