Draft at OBF’07. Pours deep red with a very malty and carmel nose with some notes of herbal hops. Flavor is very nicely malty with toffee and carmel flavors, light bitterness with a nice english hoppy finish that is floral, spicy and earthy.

Tried the dry-hopped version of this beer. Skunky (in a bad way), diacytol, metallic buttery nose. Weak head. Overly carbonated. Slightly sweet and homebrewy. Bleh.

Pours a deep dark red, almost this side of being brown. Has a very heavy somewhat pungent herbal nose. Flavor is nice, medium on the mouthfeel, with some sweet caramel toffeeness.

Hazed red body with beige head. Aroma is mild sweet, roasty, caramel, light anise. Taste is mild sweet, earthy, light nutty, anise.

Very dark red beer. Heavy caramel-malt aroma with a follow-on of stark cooked brown sugar character. Bit too sugary.

Deep garnet ruby with light head, little lacing. Aroma is lightly hoppy with a touch of caramel. The flavor is also balanced with flavors, nothing per se for complexity but a solid pale ale. Metallic and dry finish.

Has hoppy strawberry and caramel malt nose with a malty body with chocolate and caramel, followed by a firm bitter finish.

Aroma had a lot going on, with caramel, wood, and fruit present. Color was in fact red. Quite malty. Round hop taste, could use more.

Medium brown color. A medium to full bodied pale ale. Malty and fairly hoppy. Good flavor. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
