Mendocino Eye Of the Hawk Ale

This is a very nice ale and not very expensive for a micro considering this beer is ABV 8.0%.

Hawk pours a deep amber with a good malt aroma and alcohol.

This beer has a high ABV and there is no attempt to hide that fact. You can taste the alcohol but surprisingly it is not over powering.

This is a nice winter type full body beer as it is rich with a syrup like caramel flavor. The cabonation is high in this beer and helps tempers the syrup like character. What I liked was the beer finishes very crisp.

This is a type of beer to be enjoyed with a steak as the food will complement the both the alcohol and sweetness of the ale. Personally, I like this beer and brewer a lot. They also brew a really good IPA.
