3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: MAR 14, 2005 Easily the best beer available (at the time) at DuClaw. I am sure there are others that are a little better, but I liked this amber a lot! Very dark amber, lots of character. Aroma was sweet and taste was mild with a bit of a kick. Quite good!
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: DEC 15, 2007 A perfect balance of malt and hops - not too much of either. If I could find fault with this brew, it would be the color, and I’m being picky here. It was a little darker than I figure an amber ale should be, and it wasn’t really "red". But oh boy, was it smooth!
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at Arundel Mills location. Appearance was a deep ruby red with virtually no head. Aroma was pretty balanced and of strawberries. Taste was also very well-balanced with a hint of tangy strawberries. Slightly more malty than hoppy. A little roasty. Just a little bit of hops in the finish. On the thin side.

Draft, pours a nice amber color, with a sweet smell. great after taste with a trace of hops. I definitely agree with boto, this would be a great session beer.

On sampler tray at BWI. Plain brown color, off white head, decent lacing. Aroma of caramel. Taste is slightly sweet, slightly hoppy, with a bit of cocoa in the finish. Drinkable.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught in Fells Point: This one pours a dark, ruby tinged amber color. There was a small off-white head on it. This one has a milder aroma. Some malt sweetness, but no real hop notes at all. The taste is good. I can detect faint roastiness and faint fruits. It has a well balanced medium body, with the taste being neither sweet or bitter. A nice session beer.
