Perry's Revenge Ale - Cottrell Brewing Co.

Perry's Revenge Ale! Talk about straight from the brewer.  What makes me so excited about this beer is that its made 10 minutes from my house and they have tours all week! 

  • Appearance: Pours dark, however it has some nice light brown hues that swirl through.  
  • Smell: Molasses, boozy, and with hints of chocolate
  • Taste: Again the alcohol came through with a boozy taste, kind of warming, caramel, molasses, hint of chocolate and a bit of an earthiness 
  • Feel: Slightly carbonated, light and airy, without an alcohol burn...at 8.5% alc.volume! 
  • Overall:  It's complex flavors keep me from drinking it over and over, its got so much flavor you could probably even have this beer as a dessert.   Cheers!

Last January, three divers, Charles Buffum, Mike Fournier and Craig Harger, announced that they had located the wreck of Oliver Hazard Perry’s ship USS Revenge which sank 200 years ago off the coast of Rhode Island near Watch Hill.   It turns out that Charles Buffum, in addition to being a diver and an amateur archaeologist, is also the owner of Cottrell Brewing Company, which is celebrating the discovery with a new ale –  Perry’s Revenge Ale, a dark Scottish-style ale with an 8.5 percent alcohol content.
