Jul 20, 2008 Bottle. Copper pour with an off white head. Has a strong sweet caramel malt aroma. Strong caramel flavor as well that sits overtop a nice underlying bitterness. Not bad.

Jul 20, 2008 Copper color, with thin white head. Roasted malt flavor, with nice dry hos bitterness at the finish. I didn’t detect much sweetness in the malt. Sharp and crisp for an ale. A bit astringent, which for me was a good thing. Would go well with a nice juicy burger.

Jul 18, 2008 pours a clear amber with a light tan head, good lacing.
smell is really faint, some fruit, some caramel, some malt.
taste is sweet fruit, some hops, touch of caramel, a little metallic, as it warms grain and malt.

Jul 17, 2008 This is a really good, unique ale. Sort of a cross between an IPA and a weak belgian. Taste is hoppy and bitter, but a sweet palate rounds it out nicely. Kicks pretty fast too, even though less than 6%. Recommended. Won’t disappoint.

Jul 16, 2008 12 oz. bottle on 7/16/08.
Aroma - Lots of malt based aroma - toasty grain, caramel, burnt sugar. Some earthiness and spice follows.
Appearance - Coppery amber, medium off white to beige head that settles quickly, fair lace.
Flavor - Leans toward bitterness quickly, supported by a sturdy caramel sweetness, moderately dry finish.
Palate - medium body, light carbonation, faintly syrupy initially, but giving way to some astringency and drying bitterness.
Overall- Quite tasty, lots of flavor, probably better with the right food, some smoked fish or hearty beef dishes, than by itself.
