mobrew (19), Oregon, USA Mar 1, 2005 This has a very nice ruby color along with flavors of carmel and licorce. the hop bitterness is only slight and makes this a very will liked and easy to drink brew.
FlyingSwine (155), Littleton, Colorado, USA Jan 4, 2009 12oz. Reminds me more of a brown ale than a strong English. Pours a mostly clear brown/amber with a thin white head. Aroma is roasted nuts and wood. Flavor has an initial hoppy bite, before you receive the dark chocolate cake and roasted nuts. Very little alcohol in the flavor. Finishes dry and astringent. Palate is medium bodied, but a bit dry for my tastes. Overall its a drinkable beer, but not one of my favorites. riversideAK (1948), Shoreline, Washington, USA Dec 31, 2008 Aroma is toasty, roasty, a little sweet, with a touch of aspirin. Pours amber ish. Flavors of toasted malts, caramel, toffee. Some roast all with a almost unpleasant medicinal finish. Not my favorite. Steib (544), Queen Creek, Arizona, USA Dec 26, 2008 Golden brown color with a rich malt aroma. Smooth slightly bitter notes. An interesting beer with to me an odd aftertaste. Taste a little like a nutty caesar salad, strange even after a few bottles. ironchefscott (309), long beach, California, USA Dec 26, 2008 nice mellower malty sweetness...not too apperant alchol ...very drinkable on a cool winter afternoon CanIHave4Beers (288), Des Moines, Iowa, USA Dec 17, 2008 This reminded me a bit of a darker bock. Very malty but some good balancing dryness. A little nutty and some good roasted flavors. A nice winter warmer.
