j_b (719), Rochester, New York, USA Jul 5, 2008 I found this one quite enjoyable and am surprised by the recent negative reviews. I enjoy this style, and this one was a bit unique because it had a bit more hops, at least in some mouthfuls. The color was deep orange, aroma of molasses and cinammon. Apples in the palate along with graham crackers. Occasional hoppiness. This had wonderful complexity for an Okt. kp (6000), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Mar 9, 2008 Date: 02/24/2008

ryan (1673), Beltsville, Maryland, USA Feb 24, 2008 Hazy amber body with a tiny white head. The nose is vienna, caramel, grapes and metal. The flavor is fairly dry, lightly tart and metallic with golden raisins and caramel. Medium/light body is a bit thin with light carbonation. CaptainCougar (4601), Rockville, Maryland, USA Feb 24, 2008 Pours a transparent copper amber with a thin, wispy-lacing off-white head. Aroma of lightly sweet toasty earthy caramel malts and with a touch of noble hops and light fruity tartness. Body starts lightly sweet with a lot of unexpected citric tartness before a drier grainy earthy acidity. This is a bad infection issues going on here. jjpm74 (2760), Connecticut, USA Jan 25, 2008 Bottle courtesy of alexsdad06. Pours caramel copper with a white head. Smells of caramel, roses, biscuits, some sugary hints. Tastes like candy with a tarte finish.
