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.

red tan pour with a friggin huge latticework of an off white head. strong alcohol and peach jam nose. some nutty notes with benzene arise too, the benzene is actually pleasant. a lot of peach here, very inviting. spiced rum flavor with homemade sweet rolls. the malty finish is enjoyable, i get to compare it to my new favorite substance, sorgum molasses. the finish is aluminum baseball bat and sorgum molasses. a bit of orange citrus in there to keep this evened out. i like this brew, it reminds me a lot of a fullers vintage.

Devil’s Night At Mullman’s. Bottle shared by Lou18. Clear copper color with a small beige head. Nice citrus hop aroma with some sweet malt and caramel. Flavor was drier than I expected. Starts off mildly sweet and malty before the hop bitterness takes over. Very good.

Faintly hazy amber colour with a beige head. malty dark fruit sweet aroma with a wellbalanced alcohol note. Sweet fruity flavor with hints of some hops and again a very well balanced alcohol note. Thick oily palate. Thanx Mads for sharing this special beer.

This beer poors a dark red to amber color and with a clear body. Head is frothy off white and has moderate lacing. ARoma is nice with lots of perfumy hopps present. Flavor is sl sweet, significantly bitter in the finish, crisp and nice. Palate is medi8um bodied.

Bottled, purchased at Lundeen’s in Sycamore, IL. Red-orange (with flecks of pinkish-purple at a distance) with a medium-sized fizzy off-white head. Lots of caramel and toffee in the aroma, some plums/raisins, slight alcohol with perhaps a hint of cinnamon and some ginger "zing". Moderately bitter flavor, some pine, balsa wood, lightly roasted malt, caramel, and wheat hulls. Dry, lightly bitter finish with some residual sour graininess. Nicely carbonated with a moderately full mouthfeel.

Got this at Noonan’s in Hamilton, OH. Definitely one of the best of the Great Lakes brews. Aroma is biscuity malts, and a hint of wheat. Hoppy and bitter just the way I like it. Also biscuits in the flavor. Speaks of Halloween. slightly fruity but just ..slightly. anyway. A must have for any Great Lakes fan.
