dornan23 (11), New York, USA Oct 24, 2009 From a bottle. Excellent brew. Amber color, good malty aroma. quite smooth with a sweet malty taste. Damico (162), Norristown, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 22, 2009 This has a rich, malty aroma and a nice ruby amber color. The flavor is smooth and quite tasty for a lager, with a whopping 6.2% to boot. This is one of the best lager’s I’ve ever tasted. smashweights (12), Ohio, USA Oct 16, 2009 12oz bottle. great copper/amber color. just right 2-finger head, maybe a touch of fruit in the nose? Sweet, caramel malt flavor with an immediate, but light bitterness that sticks through the finish. A bit of toasted bread? Very good. tarheels86 (703), Washington DC, USA Oct 10, 2009 355mL. Awesome. Poured a clear amber with an enormous yellow head that has awesome retention and leaves excellent lacing. Spicy rye aroma with some strawberries, All-Bran cereal, cream of wheat, caramel malt, cornbread, brown sugar....very earthy. Taste is excellent: massive hop backbone with rye toast, earthiness, buttered biscuit. A killer session beer! LIke drinking spiked brown sugar cream of wheat. MrPickles (108), Wisconsin, USA Sep 22, 2009 Bottle. Deep red pour with a head that lasts throughout. Aroma is full of a sweet malt caramel and hops. Flavor is the same with a touch of honey. I was expecting to get over poured with hops on this one, but I enjoyed this a lot. daknole (2805), Plantation, Florida, USA Sep 19, 2009 Bottle. Amber pour. Light tan head. Hops, caramel, honey and bready notes. Flavor is sweet and has some caramel, honey, yeast and hops. Pretty good stuff. MrBeerFanatic (344), jamestown, New York, USA Sep 10, 2009 Pours a deep dark red amber with a off white head with a red hue. Aromas of burnt hops and malts like caramel. Flavor is a little bready with undertones of caramel and crisp hops with a sort of earthy overtone like it was aged or barreled. Clean finish. For some reason when I drink this, its like I’m drinking an "old school" kinda beer. italianjohn (338), Bensalem, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 8, 2009 Pours a very attractive deep amber color and clear ... off white head sweet caramel malty aroma and sweet malt caramel taste slight bitter finish medium body this is a good one
