Not really any aroma. This is okay. A bit sweet and caffeinated, this has malt first and some late hops. Interesting but not real great. A light sour milk finish.

One of the more enjoyable beers from Belle Isle’s lineup. Medium bodied, pours deep tea red. Perhaps a bit thin on taste, but overall very drinkable.

On tap at the brewery. Pours dark amber with a slight head. Has a caramel sweet smell. Medium bodied with a pleasing mouthfeel. Taste is caramel sweet with a nice roasted malt base. Finishes with a toasted grain taste on the palate. Another tasty brew from this unheralded brewery. Sept 2003

(Tap) Pours a deep amber color with a small amount of head. Light hop aroma, with a sour taste. Sweet caramel finishes it off. Very light body, and just plain bad. Something is off here.
