Old Perseverance is a handsome and masculine ale; one pouring with deep chestnut and garnet hues. Its short creamy froth underlies a surly, savory and spicy scent of transcendent booze, pepper, and maple sweetness. The palate is immediately hit with the full impact of malt sweetness. Toffee, molasses, maple and spice cake all come to mind when the elixir hits the tounge.
