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.

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.

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.

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.
