Jul 22, 2008 Bottle- Dark amber brown with nice clingy foam head. Aroma of sweet malts and mild hops. Caramel and malt body with some roasted bitterness towards the finish. Another that was a little week in the body but a decent drinker overall.

Jul 7, 2008 bottle. Nice aroma of malts. Had a robust color for a bitter being a bit darker for the style. Didn’t taste like it looked or smelled...very hoppy taste and was a bit watery. Had a very dry after taste that I didn’t care for but not a bad brew.
