3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20Bottle (22oz). Shared with blankboy, GregClow and tupalev, blankboy’s bottle. Clear deep amber, smallish creamy-foamy beige head. WTF this aroma? Some dry toffee, herbal hops, and odd butterscotch malt. The taste has very little of the butterscotch - it’s a tad buttery and sweet, floral dry hops, slight alcohol burn. Creamy body, light carbonation, slightly bitter in the fiinish. Ehh.

Bottle. Pours dark red with a small off-white head. Moderately sweet caramel aroma with some moderate earthy hops. Flavor is the same. More caramel in the finish with a touch of spicy bitterness. Not a bad beer, just not all that exciting.

Had a bottle. Definitely a RED beer. But it just isn’t that good. Maybe it would be to cook with but not to drink.

3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft at the brewpub.
Pours a dark golden orange/amber color with a 1.5 finger off white head that slowly fades into a lasting ring. Sporadic streaks of lacing left behind.
Sweet malt aroma with lots of caramel, toffee, rye and dark fruits. Subtle hops and estery yeast balance things out a bit.
Fuller bodied than expected with a balance of crisp hops and sweet malts. Hoppier than expected up front with dry spiciness and subtle earthy, floral notes.backing malt backbone with lots of sweetness. Hints of caramel, toffee rye, hazelnut, apricot and other light fruit. Well balanced and very drinkable.
