Aloha BrewTube:

In this episode of DJs BrewTube I am joined by Johnny and Paul from PABrewNews to review yet another Appalachian Brewing Co. beer.  What big Appalachian Brewing Co. beer you ask?  Why, none other then Appalachian Brewing Co. Batch No. 666 Ale.  Appalachian Brewing Co. Batch No. 666 Ale is a seasonal release from Appalachian Brewing Co. that they produce just before Halloween.  Thus, the spooky 666 name.  It is also their most sought ater brew.

Batch No. 666 is a combination of a Porter and a Scottish ale and is produced with 1666 lbs of malt along with 3 -- 6 lb. hop additions. It is dark bronze in color with a clean finish Appalachian Brewing Company claims that this one can sneak up on you and take you to the dark side.  Considering that nearly all the other beer we had fro Appalachian Brewing Co. sucked, let's see if it measures up.  My written review and report card for Appalachian Brewing Co. Batch No. 666 Ale follows:

Appalachian Brewing Co. Batch No. 666 Ale WRITTEN REVIEW:

A - Appalachian Brewing Co. Batch No. 666 Ale pours a very dark brown, may as well be black, color with just a smidge of light creeping through. It produces an inch of tan head and leaves some lacing behind.

S - Mainly darker roasted and crystal malts with some faint dark frits and chocolate / coffee intermingled. There also slight traces of spices, but too faint to make out.

M - Medium in body with moderate carbonation and a creamy feel.  Quite easy to drink.

T - Dark roasted malts come first and quickly interweave with sweet caramel followed by some coffee and dark chocolate. The favor is rounded out with some dark fruits and a lingering roasted bitterness.

O - Appalachian Brewing Co. Batch No. 666 Ale is by far the best offering I've seen come out of Appalachian.  I don't know if I would seek this one out,but it would be worth drinking again.  Especially since 99% of their other beers are much above drain pour level.

Serving type: 22 oz Bottle
