3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a small, off-white head and an amber hued body underneath. Aroma is sugary with hints of fruit, toffee, and corn. Very estery. Taste has a lot of fruity esters and is a bit nutty with some caramel and cherry (reminds me of NB Old Cherry). Light bubbles and a dry mouthfeel.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. . Body-amber with a medium ring of bubbles. Nose-diaper, rotten vegetable juice. Taste-flat, peanut skins, wet wood, a mish-mash of bad malt, bad hops, and broken dreams. Why in the hell do people still make Amber Ales? What is the f’ing point? Even the best AA, on the best day, will be a mediocre turd. Stop the madness. Brewers should unite to save precious resources, energy, and time by ceasing the brewing of this awful style all together. Let it go the way of the slide rule.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: MAR 20, 2009 Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Amber pour with a cream head that fades to a ring quite fast. Nose of caramel malts and fruits. Great on the palate with a slight sweet malt flavor. Easy finish and a good clean aftertaste.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Dark caramel color with a small head that does not last. Aroma is overripe fruit and sweet malt. Flavor is malt with black licorice. Some powdery dry chocolate. Very little hop presence.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle at The Stable in St. Louis. Pours a clear dark amber-copper color with a medium foamy beige head that recedes slowly. Spotty lacing on the glass that slides down quickly. Caramel malt aroma with some hops and dark fruit. Medium-bodied and sweet with flavors of grainy malt and caramel, along with hints of vinous fruits and hops. The finish is sweet and malty with a mildly tart fruit aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
(22 oz bottle) Deep copper with tan head. Toasty malt aroma. Flavor is biscuit malt, slightly sweet. Finish is a bit wine like, with hints of grapes.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bomber. Medium copper colored body with a light khaki head. The aroma has some grainy notes like Wheaties cereal. There is also some dusty old oranges. The taste has some light tobacco and dusty caramel. There is also some apple core. This is definitely on the malty end for an amber ale, I would say that it is closer to an ESB than an amber. Decent.
