I knew this tasted more like an ESB than an American Amber. Pours clear red, with a medium beige head. Aroma is nutty and mild. Flavor is mild with lots of toast, biscuity malts and more nuttiness. Mouthfeel is pleasantly thick for the style. A solid, but not outstanding ale.

Aug 13, 2008 Pours a great copper color with a great head that looks like a good root beer float thickness. Aroma is very heavy of caramel maltiness. Flavor follows the aromas queues. Starts off with stronger hints of chocolate at the beginning with some roasted tones following it. Flavor moves into a a sweeter finish with not a lot of "spicy" hints. A good beer and would like to try it on tap instead of from a 6 month old bottle.

Jun 19, 2008 Pretty standard stuff here. Well done though, sufficient amount of hops with good malt character-some grainy malts, bready, with some caramel, even a bit of chocolate but nothing sweet or too pronounced. They put in a tiny amount of pizazz "spice" but nothing very interesting. Too carbonated making the quaffability (what should be it’s main goal imho) suffer. Got better as it sat out and warmed.

Jun 14, 2008 Bottle. A fairly typical Irish Ale, somewhat bland. Nothing too extreme about this beer, but well balanced and very drinkable.

Jun 13, 2008 Murkey rust brown color with a medium head that dissipates rather rapidly. Fruity nose with floral notes and just a hint of wood. Taste of wood with subtle notes of fruit. Bitter finish of wood and hop.
