Bottle (660ml) shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow, jerc & mabel -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a slightly hazy orange-copper with a small diminishing off-white head. Aroma of lightly toasted caramel, a hint of smoke and some grain. Sweet flavour of toffee, lightly burnt caramel malt and some earthy notes. Light to average bodied. Too thin for the style. Not bad, better then I expected.

2008-09-17. Dark amber body with a smallish beige head. (3+) Aroma of over cooked Wonder Bread toast from a diner or greasy spoon. Flavour is sweetish, quite mild though. Notes of the Wonder Bread character as in the aroma, light grainy bready notes in the finish. Average to thin palate is much too thin for the style. Not offensive but rather mild, unexciting. <i>Bottle shared by HogTownHarry</i>

my 660ml bottle shared with blankboy, GregClow, jerc and mabel, via trade with mgermani. Slightly hazy deep amber pour and an average lasting frothy creamy off-white head. Dry toasty caramel malt aroma, grainy and sadly a bit papery (I held this in the cellar quite a while). The taste is thin, a very sweet malt body that reminded me, not unpleasantly, of Crown Brand corn syrup, but the malt sweetness faded quickly, leaving a surprising residue of dry generic bitterness. Syrupy mouthfeel, naturally, only average-bodied though, a little oxidized bitterness in the aftertaste. Certainly sweet enough for the style, not much alcohol (didn’t seem like 6%) - kind of thin.

Cloudy amber with medium beige head. Sweet aroma with toasted malt, caramel and butter notes. Sweet flavour with toasted malt, caramale and butter notes. Ends sweet.

Bottled
A bit hazy ruby color, small off-white head. Caramellty, grassy nose. Light, caramelly, butterscotchy and grassy flavor. It is kind of Scotch ale, but not really really enjoyable one.

Poured a clear amber color with a thin off-white head. Dirty ashy caramel aroma. Caramel malt flavor with earthy notes. Light to medium bodied.

12oz bottle @Hoboken#1-pours a white head and amber color. Aroma is funky ash, spice, medium malt. Taste is peat, funky ash, spice, medium malt. Mild carbonation. Not quite there.
