tennessejed420 (923) - Denver, Colorado, USA - AUG 24, 2010
bottle. At $6.99 a six pack this already a great deal. Pours amber gold with white gray head, pretty nice lacing. Aroma of butter, caramel, toffee, hops. Medium bodied, smooth, would be a great session. Nice mellow flavor, buttery caramel sweet, with a crisp hop bite. Awesome.

Muddy copper, chill haze, ring of film. Oxidized, stale hops, big caramel backend. Flavor much the same, huge oxidation, very cloying in the finish. Lacks carbonation.

Mouthfeel is soothing and flowing, flavor is delicious caramel, malt, and lots of hop sting. Aftertaste is all hops. Aroma is sweet and bready. Really good. Bottle from Whole Foods, Nashville.

Dogbrick (6047) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - FEB 10, 2010
Sample at the brewpub. The beer is a dark amber color with a medium thin and creamy bone white head that diminishes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Mild hops and earthy malt in the nose. Medium, smooth body with flavors of resiny hops, earthy malt and fruit. The finish is biscuity malt with a touch of floral hops left behind. Decent overall.

SphinxTX (2846) - Mata Gorda, Texas, USA - JAN 25, 2010
Bottle. Pours a nice amber color with beige head. Aroma of subtle caramel, malt and a low profile hop spice. Flavor has a nice, smooth malt backbone blended in with notes of caramel, light sweetness, signs of toffee, low fruity esters and a smooth low profile spiciness in the finish. Mouth feel is medium body with high carbonation, Overall, this is a nice, relaxing drinking beer. Not bad at all. I enjoyed.
