 cheapdark (1526), Monacatootha, Pennsylvania, USA
Mar 16, 2008 On tap at the Pittsburgh JH in Monroeville. Dark brown with a slight haze. Nice dark beer palate. Without any rudeness. Enjoyable yet has enough personality to claim itself a craft. Good example of an accepatable beer, fun to be with. Just a hint of bitterness on the finish. Alts in general, are a pretty fine style.

Oct 11, 2006 Wayne, PA. Clear, rust-colored body with a velvety beige head. Aroma of toffee and berries plus sweet, toasty crumb cake and a light edge of tobacco. Medium sweet with good German malt qualities, moderate Noble hop flavors, and a firm bitter and toasty finish. A nice, full-flavored altbier.
Dogbrick (2166), Columbus, Ohio, USA
Aug 23, 2006 Sample at the Pittsburgh location. Clear amber color with a medium thin off-white head that lasts pretty well. Sweet aroma of malt and caramel. Medium-bodied, borderline thin at times, with roasted malt and nut flavors. Just a bit of hops are present too. The finish is roasty and lightly bitter and ultimately short-lived. This one is fairly average in all respects.
Aurelius (2443), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
Aug 13, 2006 Rich, red-bronze. Very clear. Sweetish cereal aroma. Grainy, medium tartness. Cereal, medium-light bittering. Medium-light body. Goes watery. A rather flaccid interpretation of a style that I’m usually inclined to be charitable towards. Nutty sweetness in the finish.
