There is a nice hoppiness to this, but it was also fairly thin and had a carboard quality to it. Not great.

Shakesbeere (187) - Oxford, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - NOV 22, 2009
Malty and nutty aroma. Taste is initially of caramel malt, which gives way to an overly bitter hop taste. The malt never really comes back. Body is a little thin. Has a hint of klezmatic nastalgia; nothing especially noteworthy otherwise.

Snojerk321 (2954) - San Diego, California, USA - NOV 8, 2009
12oz bottle. Pours a deep hazy reddish amber with a small beige ring, spotty lacing. Nose was mostly toasted malts with some faint herbal hops. Flavor starts really nice with hints of caramel and toffee, giving way to roasted malts and a light hop bitterness.

marcus (3776) - Sacramento, California, USA - OCT 23, 2009
This dark copper ale poured with a decent beige head and a toffee aroma. There is a thin caramel flavor with significant hop bitterness. There is nothing special about this beer.

zombywoof (418) - Shawnee, Kansas, USA - OCT 18, 2009
Aroma of malt and not much of that, Mild hoppiness and more malt. Kinda boring and overpriced. Won’t buy this again.

Cletus (6025) - Connecticut, USA - OCT 13, 2009
Draught sample. Pours copper/mahogany with an off white head. Smells of earth, some sweet malt, peppery, some floral hints, caramelly. Enjoyable.

Harsebrau (227) - Kansas City, Missouri, USA - OCT 1, 2009
Non descript nose and lacking in interesting eye appeal. Slight sweet hop bitterness and chewy malt flavor.

SuIIy (1828) - Natick, Massachusetts, USA - SEP 18, 2009
Bottle. Pours a dark amber color with a small off white head. Nose is malty up front with some grassy notes as well. Palate is medium with a velvet touch. Flavors are mostly caramel malts and some sweetness with a light hop note in the finish.
