Pours a translucent brown with a thin off white head. Mild aroma with a little bit of nuts, malt, and some fruit. I thought it was a relatively sweet beer with the malt dominating the hops. I was hoping it would have a little more hop profile. Very easy to drink though and decent overall. Part of the first trade I made on ratebeer. :) Thanks jerc

Oct 2, 2008 16 oz. can - thanks to matt7215 for the trade; pours dark amber and clear against the light; froathy off-white head; aromas of band aids, malts, stale sugar and light hops; drinks nutty and slightly sweet with caramel coming through; little to no hops or bitterness; on the earthy, malty side of APA’s; decent overall

Sep 25, 2008 Can. Nice concept. Pours amber with a reasonable head. Yeasty nose with hints of caramel, pumpernickel bread. The flavour is woody with chocolate, smooth hop bitterness. Bitter finish.

Aug 29, 2008 Dark brown with lots of red. Rich aroma of amber malts, plums, caramel, lots of dark fruit; slightly sherry-like. Clean, hoppy flavor with lots of fruity malt, apples, plums, a touch of citrus, and some caramel and molasses. Nicely hopped from beginning to end. Dry, hoppy, aromatic and bitter finish. Very nice. Rich malt, great hops. No problems here.

Aug 19, 2008 Pours a deep coppery amber colour with a thin off white head. Nose is thick caramel malts and some citrusy hop notes. Flavour is very much the same. There’s a strong does of hop bitterness in there as well, which rounds the flavour out very nicely. It’s fairly thick and the carbonation is spot on for the style. Very nice beer.

Aug 16, 2008 Can. Pours a definately not pale ale, looking more like Coke than a pale ale., very, very suprising. Thin, off-white head, goes away quickly. Flavor is overwhelmingly roasty and malty with some coffee notes which overwhelms the hops, if in fact there are any. The devil darkened this one up for sure. Thanks to blankboy for this one.
