What am I thinking? Drinking a thick, chocolately English Ale on a day where the temperature almost hit 100 degrees? On the last day of May, no less.
I picked up a 16.9 ounce bottle of Moorhouse’s Black Cat Ale at Gilly’s in Rockville, MD, who has a fine selection of English and Europen imports in addition to their selection of US craft beers. I hadn’t see Moorhouse beers before, so what the hell.
The Moorhouse Brewery dates back to 1865, and they now produce a series of ales with names inspired by the dark arts. The Black Cat is an English Dark Mild Ale. It pours a ruby tinged dark brown into the glass with very little head. The taste is malty with hints of chocolate. There is no noticeable hop taste to this beer, at least not to me. Decent beer, not too heavy.
Looks great!
