tjthresh (1322), Greenfield, Indiana, USA Jun 11, 2008 From a bottle. Pours dark copper with a decent sized eggshell white head. Some lace. The nose has toffee, biscuit, perfume, and some alcohol. Lots of toffee, and backed goods. Medium body with lots of carbonation. Dry, but big and malty finish.
heynik1885 (29), tonawanda, New York, USA Oct 3, 2008 Strong carmel taste, nice amber pour, some head no lacing on glass. cant really taste 6.8% not to bad oteyj (344), Canterbury, New Hampshire, USA Sep 30, 2008 Pours amber with modest head. Aroma is sweet caramel, and resinous hops. Flavor is much the same- again lots of earthy hops and caramel malt. Slightly astringent in the finish. Palate is medium. BeerGestapo (351), Windsor, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 28, 2008 Brewed in the USA !! Pours a dark amber color with a dissipating off white head. The aroma is of malts, caramel and biscuits. The taste is kind of the same and the 6.8% might sneak up on you. Not bad !! might try again. Moggman (58), Columbus, Ohio, USA Sep 24, 2008 Bottle. Pours amber/red with an off white head. Aroma is not very appetizing. First flavor impression is very plain, with a sweet malt flavor. Very little hops, thin carbonation. Sean9190 (2), Farmington, New York, USA does not count Sep 9, 2008 Bottle. Not a very interesting brew. Aroma is not the most pleasent. The initial flavor is a bit boring then followed by the slight sweetness you would expect. The flavor of the alcohol comes out in the aftertaste. Aside from being on the potent side there is not really anything here you haven’t had before. Not worth broadening horizons for.
