Treephiend (57), Walla Walla, Washington, USA Mar 6, 2008 On tap at The Victory in SE Portland. Tastes a bit sweet and malty. Good amount of alcohol in there too. Just like a strong ale should be. Bradrcr (532), Renton, Washington, USA Feb 9, 2008 1/19/08 On draught at the Portland brewhouse. Aroma is sweet and all malty, but has a strong vegetal (fresh) character that doesn’t hurt, but is very weird. Appearance is clear copper with a low white. Flavor is earthy English brown in character with good sweetness and low bittering. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a medium carb texture. Overall, fairly good, but lacking some unique character. raphael (244), Portland, Oregon, USA Feb 1, 2008 On tap and pours flat. opening floral aroma giving way to caramel with notes of roast and toast. has a good heft in the mouth. overall effect of beer is murky. its clean but not clear (definite), lacking in complexity WeeHeavySD (1564), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Jan 7, 2008 07-08 Road Trip with BikesandBeer. Had at Horsebrass Pub in Portland. Porus amberish orange with a thin ring head. Nose has a slight hop character. Tastes ehh. Overall this was pretty damn poor, barely worth trying again. Angeloregon (1549), Portland, Oregon, USA Dec 30, 2007 On tap at Widmer Bros. in NE Portland, OR--Poured a deep copper body with a thick whtie head. Floral, tangy sweet earthy hops with a balance of caramel maltiness. Pretty unmemorable. Thin finish. Didn’t leave much of an impression other than hiding the 7+% ABV alcohol quite well.
