oldrtybastrd (1801), Morlautern, Germany/Great Falls, Montana, USA Dec 28, 2005 Pours a nice hazy orange. Aromas of caramel, hint of fruit and hops. Nice creamy malt taste with a nice hop bitterness. Cletus (3614), Connecticut, USA Aug 22, 2005 Similar to their scottish ale, except for some more caramelly notes. Decent as a session ale, but otherwise bland and boring. drismyhero (815), Tacoma, Washington, USA Jan 25, 2005 Pours a very mellow brown with little head. Mild caramel aroma with hints of hoppy spice. Similar flavor, but all around very mellow. Very drinkable, but not anything I’d remember the next day. My disclaimer is however that this was purchased at Trader Joe’s where no beer is refrigerated, so it is possible this beer has lost some character. BelgianGirl (89), West Chester, Ohio, USA Mar 6, 2004 It was hard to get a good aroma from this beer as I was in a very smokey bar when I ordered it. Great creamy head that complemented the dark golden color of the beer. It had a hoppy flavor combined with some maltiness. Overall, it was a tasty beer.
