CharlesDarwin (1315), State College, Pennsylvania, USA May 28, 2008 On tap at the Escanaba brewpub. Crystal clear deep red amber, with a rim of white above. No aroma. I can’t pull anything
off. Flavor. This is boring. A meaty, chewy old malt flavor climbs out of this one. Too much
crystal, too much meat. No real malt intricacy and no hops to balance this off. Some
too-warm yeast esters kick off a bit of gross twinge to the finish of the beer. Not entirely
clean. Linus_Stick (1459), Moon Township, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 16, 2008 Crap was this bad. If this was in a bottle it would have been a drainpour. Nothing stood out with this beer. I literally put my beak into the liquid and inhaled and couldn’t pick up an aroma. The pour was a flat bubbleless orange with no head. Taste was weak and unexciting. I could taste a hint of biscuit and light malt with an earthiness to it, but it was so diluted I had to dig deep to pull that out of it. Terrible. railcat1 (468), Hammond, Indiana, USA Apr 12, 2008 I got this from my girlfriend who got a bomber for $2.99 and bought it.I had not ever seen it before so it sat in my fridge for 6 months and now i decided to try it,taste was malty and smooth not much alcohol to it with fruity flavors and smell and very drinkable not bad at all.CHEERS! Naka (362), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 5, 2008 Pours a deep red / amber with an off-white head. I got a decent amount of fruitness and caramel in the aroma. A lot of sweetness of caramel with just a touch of hops to balance it out. Finished really dry, as with most beers from this place. dpjuart (500), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 28, 2007 12/27/07 - Winter Road Trip ’07 - Draft sample at brewpub. Clear red w/ off white head, nice lacing. Sweet malt nose, caramel and fresh baked bread. May be some fruity yeast esters. Pretty big malt character, caramel and bread, leading to a dry, hop finish, floral and a touch of bitter. This is a decent offering.
