Its sad this brewery is no more..saw this beer at the cheapo grocery outlet.$2.99 a sixer..thought I would give it a go. Very very attractive looking beer when poured from the brown 12 oz bottle deep red almost garnet colour when held to the light..nice creamy off white head. Desp[ute sitting for at least a month on the floor , unrefridergated of some forlorn grocery store the aroma was very nice mostly malts but no off smells. The tatse also is very nice..fruity and malty..with a semi-dry finish. Very nice feeling in the mouth. A most drinkable Amber..its sad this brewery is defunct..if this is anything to go by they made pretty good beer.

There's actually a story to this beer when I drank it. Every single sip I took foamed up like a M.F'er. My cheeks almost blew out every time! We had to pour it into a glass over a period of 10 minutes to just to fit it all in due to the head on it. Once we got that stabalized and I was actually able to drink it, the damn thing wound up being surprisingly good. I don't know what the hell the deal was with the constant foaming but I was fairly disgruntled with the fact I almost had to work to drink this. Typical amber without the "turned-up volume". One and a half thumbs up and a foot-long in the bun.........Kobe-style.

Pours a deep reddish color. Nice head. I wasn't expecting much of this beer but it's actually pretty good. Some fruit in the taste perhaps?? Some malt in the aroma. Definitely worth a try!

Very unique beer. Smells of toffee, swiss cheese, and buttery popcorn. Good to smell but not to taste. Burgundy brownish color with little head.

microdyke (360) - Portland, Oregon, USA - FEB 17, 2003
Poured a dark reddish-brown color wit a very small head that is frothy around the edge of my glass. The aromas are of toffee and buttered popcorn. Very strange tastes...sweet but again, like buttered popcorn with a little bitter finish. An unusual beer.

Great malty, bready, tea aroma. Dark amber color, almost like a brown ale. Full flavor...malty sweetness throughout.
