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.

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.

12 oz bottle from Bello Vino in Ann Arbor, MI. Clear dark copper-bronze, moderate glossy off-white head, lasting...lots of woody/herbal character in the nose, caramel and vanilla...luscious fruits hit the tongue, strawberries and citrus, in the center it verges on I-swear-to-God my favorite pie raisin cream and then it descends into a rough earthy bitterness, dried grapefruit with the sugar removed...beautiful mouthfeel...nice, very very nice.
