#173 J.W. Lees- Harvest 2000



This is another J.W Lees, this time from the year 2000 and not aged in any cask.

The main aroma from this beer is raisins, maybe a little tart smell but mostly raisins. The color is a dark brown that can barely be seen through. There is a light foam to this beer, slightly covering the top.

The taste is sweet with malty characteristics. The most pronounced flavor is raisins as found in the aroma, and there is a subtle roasted flavor. The mouthfeel is medium light without any carbonation. The finish is sweet with a lingering raisin taste.

This is beer is a little to sweet for my taste. I would guess this is the same beer as the other J.W. Lees Harvest just without the cask again. The cask aging is missed in this beer. For a 8 year old beer this is perfectly drinkable.
