ultraspank (856), Dublin, Ohio, USA Jul 4, 2002 Ahh, the first bottle from my H.C. Berger sampler sixer. This brew pours a medium
sparkling ruby copper. The generous fully lasting off-white head is ultra creamy with fair
lacing. The pleasant sweet nose is caramel, spices, fruit, and earth. A very sweet start is
followed by very light acidity, and a very sweet and fruity malty finish. The light soft body
is between watery and creamy. The finish feels alcoholic, and slightly metallic. Perfect
summer flavor, this ale would be stellar with ribs. This may be the softest ale I’ve ever
had.
RSRIZZO (1078), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Sep 26, 2007 Had this beer on 2/11/1998. Color is a deep rich red, good carbonation and nice head. Aroma is a mild scent of toasted malts, no noticeable hops. Taste is a heavy but smooth flavor, it stares off with a creamy body full of roasted malt flavors. Goes down well and finishes buy leaving you with a nutty malt taste and a slight hop bitterness. Its a very well rounded beer with rich flavors all the way around. This would be a good beer any time you’re in the mood for a nice full flavored beer. Headbanger (1012), Aurora, Illinois, USA Sep 20, 2007 12oz bottle- A medium amber body with a good head and an aroma of malts and slight hops. Taste of the same with a little more hops than malt. kp (6300), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 <b>Date:</b> 07/13/2002<br />

JPDIPSO (4345), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA Aug 15, 2007 Yes, I have found some old notes. Rudy copper color with a moderate off-white head. Simple caramel aromas along with a touch of raisins and floral hops. Flavors follow aromas in simplicity, but things are a touch dryer than the fruit and caramel suggest. A bit like dry toast. spleeman (1), USA does not count Apr 14, 2005 Oh, come on! This is beyond doubt the worst beer I’ve ever tasted. It’s filth. The stench alone is enough to turn most stomachs.
