Commercial Description:
Often referred to as Burning River Pale Ale's big brother, this stock ale is remarkably balanced for such a highly hopped beer. A rich deep blood red color makes this beer scary enough to be served every Halloween and a few other times of the year.

Bottle from ucusty. Copper color. Grassy citrus hops. Toasty malt. Some sweetness with grassy, citrus hops in the finish. Some floral aspects too. Pretty strong bitterness but still a great toasty caramel malt balance. Maybe a bit of vanilla flavor too. Very good and drinkable.

Courtesy Crizay. This one poured a deep blood red color with a small off-white head to it. The aroma is of grassy and piney hops on top of a toasted caramel malt background. The flavor is much the same with the hops being in the forefront with some caramel and toasted malts in the background. This one was pretty hoppy all the way through. The medium body allows this one to be easily drinkable with a long bitter finish that was mildly astringent. Pretty good brew.

A balanced taste with a strong full bodied flavor. Strong hops and a great color make this beer a great autumn offering.

Super hops but well balanced. Blood red in color and has a nice dry, but even finish.

Wow, yea lots of hops. The blend of hops and alcohol are a big part of this. Obviously liked by a lot of beer enthusiast that like a lot of da hops! Balanced with dry bitter notes. Well put together beer but not a super hops fan, I would try again though.

A very enjoyable seasonal beer that comes out around Halloween. It pours a deep amber/brown color. The aroma is that of a strong hoppy character. The head is very slight with a tan color. The flavor is strong with slightly citrusy hops and a bit of a floral note. Other characters of the beer come through towards the end and are that of small caramel and toasted malts. An enjoyable beer for the hop heads out there.

Bottle from 3 Son, Wexford. from a DAB Tulip Pilsner Glas. Poured dark golden amber with just a hint of haze and modest light tan head. Light fragrance of alcohol and hops but not floral . Very earthy, with hint of butter and hay, and straightforward bitter aftertaste. Very little play for malt or sweetness. Thirst quenching for sure. 9/2009 On tap at Magoo’s and even better
