This ale is the partner to Lake Placid’s 46’er reviewed last month. It is a fine ale but hard to pin-point for style. At 7%, it is like a low-hopped strong US brown or even a weak Belgian dark strong beer. At its heart it is a big malty brew with some definite notes of chocolate and even a bit of a plum note in the middle. Dandy. $7.99 US or so at upstate NY grocery stores for a six.

Four years later and I picked up a six at the Price Chopper at Watertown NY for around $8.99. Still dandy stuff. Plummy. Why aren’t more beers plummy when a plummy beer works so well.
