2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at Brewpub,, pours a clear amber with a thin white head and slight lacing in the glass, the aroma is heavy on the sweet malt that gives off a weird flavor, has a thin mouthfeel and is a little boring, meh.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On draught during Great Taste of Midwest 2009 in Madison, Wisconsin. Pours a semi-clear copper amber colored brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that leaves behind a thin ring and some spotty lacing. Aroma of roasted brown malt, some roasted nuts and a touch of flowery hops. Taste is medium bodied, some caramel malt, flowery hops and a touch of roasted nuts. Finish has a nice balance of malt and flowery hops.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
On draught at the Fitchburg location: Pours a bright rusty-copper colour with a medium white head. Aroma is malty, nutty with hints of bourbon on the nose. Taste is pleasent, rich with lots of caramel malt flavors and a prevalent bready taste. Great brew!
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours with a light/medium sized pale head, that lasts for a while. Some lace. It has a dark amber color. Nice, fresh bittersweet nose that is similar to an ale. Well carbonated. Good interplay between hops and malt. Some fruity overtones that I’m personally not fond of, but drinkable. Nice long pleasant finish. On draft now at the Bodega downtown La Crosse.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
As "Big 10 Red". Hazy reddish yellow with a foamy, off white head that lingered as a thin swirl. Biscuity aroma with some roasted or smoky notes. Nutty flavor with some smoky flavors (smoked malts - possibly peat smoked?). Almost scotch-like in part. A little sweet, a little spicy...very nice.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
vibrant, golden amber body, very little carbonation. Solid - caramely, crystal malts and a nice toasty malt nose. perhaps carapils or vienna? Toasty, dry and grainy. smooth, creamy and a bit of floral tone and dryness on the finish.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Amber color with a moderate light cream colored head. Light sweet malt aroma. Sweet malt and floral hops flavors. A touch hoppy for style, but quite drinkable.
