Dark brown; grainy, toasty aroma; malt accent - bread crusts, light coffee. A multitude of dark malts; some light fruity notes (grape, apple). Finishes long, woody and earthy with the coffee still lingering underneath.

On cask at 1st Vancouver Caskival. Very cloudy beer with a thin lace. Muddy light brown colour. Apple and citrus aroma. A decent amount of spicy hoppiness, earthy aroma. Some roasted malt. Pretty good. 6/2/6/3/12 When it was the Red Branch. On tap at Sailor Hagar’s. Gorgeous amber colour with a thin creamy white head. Lacing lasted to the bottom of the glass. Immediate smell of sweet caramel and rich malt. There is also some herbaceous component that I can’t quite put my finger on. Taste is similar to smell with lots of sweet caramel, butterscotch, and chocolate. These notes are stronger as the beer warms up. Long rich finish with very delicate oily hops. A great surprise.

A ppor looking beer, opaque dull amber. Light winey nose.Light winey malt taste with medium hop finish

Tasted at 2007 Organic Brew Fest in PDX--A well-balanced dark ale that I would never have guessed was made with potato. My Polish friends loved this yummy beer that was decently hopped. Who could resist a potato brew? Not me, and I am glad I tried it!

2007 - North American Organic Brewers Festival – Portland, Oregon<br /> A deep amber color with a strong aroma. Loved this beer. A great Irish ale. Loved the thick body flavor and the spices and flavors where very present in this brew. Loved the strong hops . This was not a wimpy brew. Very good stuff.
