Very nice appearance, red w/ a murky brown middle, tan head. Caramel is in full effect in the nose. Not thick, but bubbly. Has some raisins maybe at the beginning. A nice consistent graininess flavor throughout. Really a nice ale.

The aroma is sweet with caramel, yeast, fruit, and grassy hops. The appearance is amber with a large foamy head. The flavor is like the aroma with a bitter sweet finish. The palate is OK for the style. Overall a good beer but not great.

decaturstevo (3386) - decatur, Tennessee, USA - JAN 11, 2008
A medium dark brown pour with a tan head. The initial aroma was brown sugarish, hints of spice with malt and light abv. A flavor that reminds me of raisins, lightly sweet with a fine light bitter finish. Carbonation and mouth feel are pretty close. Very good beer it took me a long time to get around to drinking.
