Jan 6, 2004 This is my new favorite beer! Deschutes brewery just changed all of their labels, but the quality of the ale is as good as last year's beer.
It is beautiful dark red, with a rich malty after-taste. Yet it is light enough to enjoy more than one with dinner. Or lunch. I have only had it in bottles, but appriciated it so much that I went to the brewery to try Cinder Cone on tap, but they didn't have it in October (since it is a winter beer) but they may have it now. This is an awsome beer from an awesome brewery - I highly reccomend it.

Mar 1, 2005 Either this is better than last years or I just forgot how darned good this is. The color, aroma, flavor, hop bittnerness, everything is EXCELLENT. Buy it, you won’t be disappointed.

May 15, 2006 Updated: May 30, 2008Pours with a generous orange tinged creamy/rock quickly diminishing head. Color is penny copper orange with every so slightly foggy body. Aroma of sweet rich malts, flower/pine hops, and a hint of alcohol. Flavor of bitter hops,flower hops, sweet malt, and a hint of bubble gum. Body is perfect; a medium palate with just enough carbonation to keep the tongue happy. THE best amber I have ever tasted.

Nov 25, 2003 I had this on tap at the local brew festival--'03. The Cindercone was the talk of the show.
Red amber with a decent head--small, fine bubbles that left quantities of lace behind.
The taste is hard to describe--it's very different from almost anything I've had.
Rich malt body with complex sweetness, but a massive hop presence that just makes your taste buds tingle. It's a very bold beer, and not for everyone, but that said. This was my favorite domestic beer of 2003--It's impressive

May 2, 2004 This beer is underated. A smooth red with great taste. Best on tap, but bottles taste great as well. Spendy but well worth the money.
