spkldhenlvr24 (446), Newburgh/Buffalo, New York, USA May 31, 2006 Bottle. Poured a deep hazy amber body with smaller creamy off-white head. Chocolate, caramel malts and some hoppy scents. Well balanced malts, bitterness and sweet flavors. Medium bodied, spicy/caramel finish. This is a very drinkable beer, but coming from a big fan of ambers, I feel this is missing something. Solid beer. JoeMcPhee (4893), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Apr 29, 2006 Cask at the brewery. Deep copper/brown beer with a thick, creamy, and persistent head. Dark toasted malt, light molasses and brown sugar, earthy and spicy with a light fruitiness. Only 16 IBUs, but on cask the bitterness is fairly prominent. Sweet malty flavour of molasses, dark toast and light cherry. Nice brew. Beerdedone (1873), Croydon, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 25, 2006 Updated: Apr 26, 2006Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours translucent bronze with an off-white head, aroma of sweet malts, citrus, alcohol, and hops. Flavor is sweet, fruity, bitter finish. just ok i didn’t like the bitterness. beeryum (652), Norcross, Georgia, USA Apr 19, 2006 Bottle. Dark orange brown pour. Malty aged aroma and flavors, some amounts of caramel, and fairly dry. I think all of this was due to the fact that the beer had been in cellar for a while. Don’t do this - this beer doesn’t cellar too well. If this beer was fresh and not cellared, even worse. goldtwins (4078), Nesconset, New York, USA Apr 7, 2006 Poured a clear dark copper colorwith a small beige head. Sweet malty aroma with caramel and some paper notes. The beer has a malty flavor with mild acidity and then a dry lightly bittered finish. Actually at the end of a fairly long finish this gets very dry. Sammy (3934), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Mar 18, 2006 Hoppy and initially tasty and drinkable. Body on the thin side. A bit of spice not much. Low alcohol a plus..I can get another beer in. Average beer overall, easy to drink. OK to have once. Balance of bitterness and sweetness on the latter. Expiry June 2006.
stegosaurus (1882), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 3, 2006 pour translucent bronze with a 2 finger thick off-white head, aroma of sweet malts, citrus, alcohol, and hops. Flavor is sweet, fruity, slightly bitter hoppy. Good body, good brew. omhper (12155), Stockholm, Sweden Feb 25, 2006 Updated: Apr 20, 2006Bottled. Clear ruby, average head. Soapy orangey hop aroma.
