Poured from the bottle aquired at Apple Hill. I really enjoyed this beer, it has a really nice balance of malts and hops. I’m done drinking it now, and I wish I wasn’t. I thought this beer was good,

4 ounce taster at the Brewery tasting room. Very toasty; nice fizziness and color.

On tap at the brewpub, Pours dark brown with a reddish fringe and a modest tan head. There is a smoky treacle aroma and a smoked malt flavor with a dry finish.

Bottle. dark ruby beer with a dark cream colored head. light roast and darker malt aroma with chocolate. Caramel and nutty flavor with light chocolate and balanced hops. Medium bodied. Woodsy/piney hops linger with caramel and nuts.

bottle thanks to bhensonb. poured brown with an off white head. aroma of grains, coffee, and roasted grain. flavor was dark roast and grains. body light-medium.

bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. deep amber with a cream head. nose is deep roasted malts, coffee and bread. not bad on the palate with a flavor of coffee and a roasted finish.

12oz bottle. Dark red-brown with some haze and a lasting off-white head. On the darker side for an Irish red ale. The aroma has a big dose of lightly burnt toast with a light coating of strawberry jam and faint grain husk. Malty yet dry flavor, bready with light roast. Modest hops, but well balanced. Medium-light body with creamy carbonation. This was a bit of a surprise. I wasn’t expecting much out of this random beer that a relative brought over for me from a brewery that I had never heard of, but this is one of the best representations of the style that I have come across. The rich malty flavors but dry drinkability work quite well.
