12oz bottle. Fairly average offering that did not leave much of an impression. In fact I do not remember any details about this one other than it was drinkable but nothing special.

Pours dark red with off white head, aroma is full of caramel and bread malt. Taste up front is sweet caramel and spice with some bready malt that finishes sweet. Not bad.

Dark, deep amber pour with a small off white head. Mild carbonation and no lacing. The nose is grass, citrus, malty, and light fruits. The taste is deep malt, nutty, and light bitterness from the hops. The palate is medium bodies, and somewhat oily.

Dark amber colour with thick light tan head that retains well. Nice lace. Nose is grassy, some citrus, and baked goods sweetness. On the palate the palate is some faint chocolate, malt sweetness, and semi-harsh alcohol to hops flavor. The flavors aren’t integrated very well. Finish has a metallic grassy characteristic.

12 oz. Nice deep clear amber, white frothy head that has good retention, some lacing on the glass. Slight fruit on the nose, mostly a subdued malty kind of nutty aroma. Deep malt flavor also kind of nutty, light but noticeable bitterness. Medium body, low carbonation.

Bottle, amber brown pour with stiff short head, aroma of sour nuts and caramel, flavor is similar to Moose Drool with more sour notes and an English finish

12 oz. bottle from the local QFC. Not much of a head to speak of with this beer. Transparent dark coppery brown appearance. Looks fairly decent, but I have sen better. Sweet caramel malt and toasted malts coming through in the aroma. This is a fairly pungent beer I must say. Aroma is not terribly nuanced, or impressive, but it does the trick. Very flat nappy beer. Has light carbonation, but it is too light for me. The toast and caramel malt flavors come through, but boy does this beer fall short.
