I haven't had this in a awhile. Looks like it's now being contract brewed by Point Brewery. I believe this has been contract brewed by Huber, Heilmann, and Cold Springs in days gone by. Ruby chestnut color with a minimal head of light tan bubbles. Minimal caramel malt aroma. More flavor than aroma. Initial malt flavor with dark caramel. Dry finish with only a minimal touch of hops. Interesting feel, seems smooth at first, but then stinging effervesence later in the quaff. Overall a dark brew for the masses.

Autumn Brew Review 2004. Brown color. Vague malt presence with an actual touch of alcohol. Bland.

Bottle. No head. Looks like Coca-Cola. Smells sweet and syrupy. Nose smells slightly of malt vinagar. Flavors of molasses, malt, and carbonation come through. This tastes like flat Dr. Pepper with a touch of alcohol. Finishes crisp with a moderate mouthfeel. Not bad, just not good.

Pours a weak head with an aroma that smells slightly of malt vinagar. Flavors of molasses, malt, and carbonation. I wasnt to impressed with this. It reminds me of a simple home brew.

Bottle poured a clear dark brown with a small amber head. Aromas of carmel and burnt toast with some sour notes. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of carmelized malt, some nuttiness and a bit of smoke with a sweet finish.

Light Brown Coloring. No Head. Carbonated...Easier to Drink Then The Lager. Some Malt. Pretty Watery...It’ll Get You Drunk I guess.....

A dismal attempt at a dark beer. This beer doesn't taste bad........in fact, it doesn't have much taste to it at all. For a dark beer it is sadly lacking in character and body. Flavor is painfully absent. Not what I expect from the Point brewery.
