jjpm74 (2811), Connecticut, USA Apr 18, 2007 Shaker at the Manchester, CT location. Pours red with a creamy tan head. Smells of roses, caramel, and some chewy syrup with mellow orangy tinges. Tastes sweet with some nice spicy hints. Mouthfeel is syruppy with a sweet finish. goldtwins (3683), Nesconset, New York, USA Apr 18, 2007 Tap @ Lake Grove: This poured a mostly clear chestnut color. The aroma and flavor were pretty much the same. Decent toasty and caramel malt with some mild fruitiness to it. Mildly sweet on the flavor. Light peaty notes. Light to medium bodied.
