| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 20, 2008 Copper Brown pour. Nice sweet maltiness. Flavor increased as the beer opened up. Good beer on a cold winter night. The 6.8% smoothness will warm you up quick! smaynard6000 (66), New Castle, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Feb 16, 2008 Pours an amber-red color with minimal white head. Very little in the way of interesting aroma. Average flavor develops with an alcohol burn and some small bit of hoppiness. Thin to medium body. Disappointing for a micro, but not a bad beer. Just average. GregClow (2495), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Feb 15, 2008 Bottle from Erie sampler pack. Clear light copper with a small white head. Fairly bland aroma of malt and tobacco leaves, with a slight sharpness building as it warms. Medium bodied. Average flavour of sweet malt, slightly sugary off the top, developing caramel notes, moderately hopped finish, and some alcohol warmth. Not bad, not great, just - meh. joshwilfong (778), Cleveland, Ohio, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 12, 2008 orangish red appearance with mild white head. nose is sweet and alcoholic. flavor is kind of convoluted with a somewhat watery malt component with no obvious hops but a decent balance. the alcohol content adds some depth and really makes the beer. the malt and hop flavor aren’t very noteworthy but this is a rare exception where an increased alcohol content carries the beer bigguns22 (99), Maryland, USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 3, 2008 Pours a clear copper color with no head. Weak aroma of hops, some malts, and a bit of caramel. Tastes better as it gets warmer-more pronounced hops flavor with some sweetness (caramel). pforei (338), USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Jan 30, 2008 Light copper/clover honey color with creamy head that remains in a thin layer and leaves spot lacings. Mild carmel/honey/bready sweet malt aroma with faint peppery hops. Taste is similar and very faint. Sweet with a mild peppery finish. Alcohol well hidden. Nothing wrong here, but needs to increase flavor. Also, not really an old ale. jezmez68 (332), Chesterton, Indiana, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Jan 25, 2008 This was the third beer I tried at a tasting at Pat’s in Porter, IN. Kinda average red ale. Nice malty taste. Red in color. Pretty. Not much to say here. Couldn’t really smell much but some maltiness. Carbonation finish.
