State: A little sleepy
Beer Log: Right now
Old Ben Ale
Copper and clear with a strong cream-colored head.  Copper ale style nose with a malt thing going on.  Oh my.  A great strong malt, a pinch cloying.  Kind of like a super scottish ale.  Great caramel and crystal malt taste.  A good pinch of raisin.  Moderate body and lightly hopped.  If I wasn't 6 beers in today and very sleepy, it would probably be a lot better.  It's supposed to be an Old Ale.  I can see that. If only I had a cigar, a fine white woman singing Ella Fitzgerald with a dude playing acoustic bass, soft lighting, and a 35 year old sista feeding me some brie, and I would be straight to go with this beer.  Instead I've got a headache, Dora the Explorer on TV, the baby spilling ketchup on the floor, and 24 upstairs on pause.  High 3 star for now, and going upward with every sip.  Not too strong, but good enough.
