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 courtesy of foureyedgeek. Great hoppy nose, sweet and malty with a good amount of floral and fruity hoppy notes. Alcohol vapors, caramel and toasty butterscotch. Clear dark amber with thin off-white lacing head. Heavy watery body with medium carbonation. Starts sweet with sugary maltiness and caramel. Great bitter finish that isn’t overpowering but well balanced. Fruity hop tastes, alcohol warming that’s almost reminiscent of a barley wine. Honey sweet finish with dry nutty after. Nice ale.

Blood orange with a nicely retaining head, and pleasant citrus aromatics. Great clarity and a medium soft cream finish. Rich,with a complex backbone of malt that tries to fend off the bitterness and isstill refreshing, with a bit of alcohol numbing for the gums. Annually anticipate the release of this bad boy.

4 pack of 12 ozers. This poured an amber color with two fingers of head. The head disappeared quickly with a good bit of lacing. Aroma was of citrus hops. Taste was balanced between the hops and malt. Great beer.

12oz bottle. Smelled of caramel, toffee, steeping barley, mango and citrusy hops. Poured a clear reddish-orange color. The head was light tan with an orange tint. Some lace was left behind at the end. Medium bodied and slightly sweet with toffee, toasted bread, and subdued mango flavors. Mild citrus and spruce flavors emerged and there was some alcohol at the end. The hops imparted a mild to moderate ho bitterness to round out the sugars. Not bad.
