| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Oct 24, 2009 Bottled. A deep red beer with an orangey head. The aroma has notes of butter, caramel, and nuts, in an unpleasant way. The flavor is sweet with light notes of butter - making it unpleasant combined with notes of spices and a burnt edge.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 4, 2009 Dark Copper pour, fizzy offwhite head. Aroma is solid caramel malt with some nutty sweetness. Mouthfeel was relatively creamy and robust with nice nutty caramel malt as the dominant flavor. Not overly sweet though, well balanced. A pleasant suprise, great tasting Irish Red.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 22, 2009 Bottle. Poured with a very small, off-white head. Body is mostly clear with a trace of haziness, and a dark amber color. Good aroma... average maltiness present, some caramel, and light yeast. Great on the palate: smooth, medium-body with a creamy texture; soft carbonation. Progresses well to the terrific flavor: caramel and malt, nice and creamy, with a medium-duration finish. The beer does not look like anything special, but it’s easiest one of the best Irish Reds I’ve tasted... could drink this all day for sure. alobar (1056), Harleysville, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 8, 2009 Nice deep red color with a thin white head. Aroma of malts,caramel and toffee. Bold flavor with malts, caramel and toffee. One of the better reds I’ve evern had. smcolw (389), Wayland, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 9, 2009 A cloudy dark burnt red color. The head is a light beige that quickly dies.
Sweet and rich aroma from the sugary crystal malt.
Surprising hop up front; the crystal malt sweetness creates a counter balance. The aftertaste is predominately hop with some slightly bitter burnt malts. The beer is ful bodied and carbonated well.
Not my style, but I enjoy the richness of the malt. It’s almost like an unsweetened caramel.
