Pours a clear amber color with a decent off white head. Aroma is toasted malt and hop flowers. Taste is a rich malty sweetness along with caramel and butterscotch and some hop bitterness. Very good; well balanced.

Kinz (2694) - Glen Allen, Virginia, USA - JUN 25, 2011
Hadn’t had this in many years, didn’t even realize I hadn’t rated it. Medium amber, slight head. Aroma is malty. Flavor is caramel accented malts, a hint of unfermented wort, a bit sticky. Some floral hop bitterness on the finish. Not bad, but just sort of there.

Headbanger (2072) - Aurora, Illinois, USA - JUN 15, 2011
12oz bottle 6/15/11 (Binny’s Plainfield Singles Rack)-58° in english Pint-Pours a medium clear amber with a one finger off white head. Aroma of roasted malt, caramel, and toffee. Taste of the same with more caramel on the back end. This medium bodied brew is not bad but not my cup of tea.

oobawa (549) - South Carolina, USA - MAY 19, 2011
Unexpectedly positive result for a beer I figured would suck. Not a bad little malt bomb, with a quick slash of caramel that slowly tapers off into a dry finish. Very smooth; not something to seek out, but a good pinch beer. (4/19/09)

MercyDevice (193) - Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 15, 2011
Amber-colored, with a medium head. Not too much favor, but smooth and drinkable. Some light spice and caramel notes.

arone12 (703) - Maryland, USA - MAY 12, 2011
Pours a reddish color. light brown colored head. Smells of malts and leprechauns. Well, i am pretty sure this is what a leprechaun would smell like. But who really knows. Overall, okay.

Like the red-headed step child of a Belgian father and Bohemian Pilsener mother. Not bad, great look, and smooth.. but probably won’t do it again.
