Pours brownish red with a thin white head. Smells of resiny hops, some sweet malty undrtones. Tastes velvety with some nice resiny hints and a spicy finish. Enjoyable.

Bottle. High creamy and long lasting off-white head. Hazy dark ruby body. Lovely sweet aroma of raspberries, cocoa and caramel. Flavor also very sweet roasted malt caramel cocoa but it has a fruity fresh hint that I cannot really figure out. Good though. Low carbonation. Long and a bit dustry sweet aftertaste. Not much bitterness but its there. Very well balanced beer with the alcohol well hidden by the sweetness. Nice surprise. And then in a huge bottle. I won’t share it with anybody!

really a great amber ale. First off the cork was a bitch to get out but worth the wait. Color is a deep brown amber that glows more in the light. Topped by a yellow tinged head. aromas of caramel, reduced fruity wine, and toast dominate. Some grass hops smell notes are lighter. taste is a full red ale like malt. finishes out with touch of booze and very dry. Great even mouth feel balancing carbonation and perfect unfiltered texture.

In bottle. Pours a golden amber colour with a thick beige head. Aroma of toffee, treacle and caramel. Similar flavours with moderate carbonation and a dry finish. Nicely bitter. Not bad at all.

i had been wanting to try something from this brewery, and i was very impressed. thick, delicious texture and alcohol flavors.

750 from cakanator. Pours dark reddish amber with a foamy 4 finger tan head. Rich caramel aroma, lightly roasted, with something like chocolate. Chocolate = leather? Full bodied or near with foamy carbonation. Flavor is confusing. Darkish malt; tannic; baking chocolate; earthy hop. Yeasty. Musty. Barnyardy. Really good ale. Guess it’s an amber, cause I can’t think what else to label it.

I got a bottle of this from the brewer. Pours a deep clear amber color with a very thick off white head. Aroma if of sweeter malts, some caramel, toffee, and some sweeter hops. Taste is pretty similar to the smell. There might be a little bit of bread and gluten present also. Leaves a sweeter malt finish. Not too bad. Not too bad at all.

Pours ruby-tinged mahogany into a snifter. Off-white head with good retention recedes to hug rim. Sweet caramel aromas. Full with upfront dark caramel and pit fruit turning dry and resinous in the lasting finish.

Bottle 750ml.
