3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
This beer is my main reason for going into Bend. Color a pale brown. Good head. Malty with a hop bite as well. Enough alcohol so my wife has to drive home but not enough to justify calling the cops. Try this with a berger and fries or with their other excellent food. A damn good reason to live in central Oregon.

On tap at the brewery. Chestnut and clear, with a light taupe head. Lots of great malt here and some complex dark fruit. This was easily my favorite beer of the sampler.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught @ Bend Brewing: Deep copper, reddish tinge, thin off-white head, spotty lacing. Soft biscuit on the nose, pale fruitiness. Strong biscuity malt like flavor on the tongue. Sweet, but not cloying. Pretty simple example. Not the depth I would have expected. A little mealy on the backside. Moderate body and mouthfeel. Lingering biscuit malts, slightly sweet, a little mealy. Not bad, but seems more of just and English Ale than and Olde Ale.

Sampled at the Bend pub. Pours maroon. small white head. Malty but otherwise pretty bland to me. Definitely does not taste like a Belgian strong ale to me. More like a strong brown ale.
