Bottle. Pours murky and dark brown with hints of deep red, topped with a small white head. Off-white lacing remains on the glass as I drink this. Aroma is of dark malt, sour apple, cocoa, and grassy hops. Taste is sweet, nicely balanced with bitter piney hops. Also present are coffee, chocolate, and brown sugar. Smooth, with low/moderate carbonation. This one is nice, a good beer.

Pours a dark brown, white head. The aroma is caramel, bread. The flavor is caramel, brown sugar, toasted malts. The finish is a resiny hop and noble hop combination. The mouthfeel is up the middle medium. Decent overall, if not outstanding.

Deep, red pour (almost brown until you candle it) with a light brown head. Extremely well-balanced malt-hop pairing. Fresh cherry-fruit nose leads to a sip of cherry, caramel, and toffee notes. Finishes as bitter-sweet chocolate. Amazing array of tastes. Delicious product.

12 oz. bottle via trade with j12601 - Pours a clear brown color with a one finger thick tan head. Light lacing. Aroma is caramel malt esters, and spice. Flavor is toasted caramel malt and dark esters. The esters linger a tad in the finish. Medium body. A nice beer. Thanks Jay

12oz. bottle from sixer. I can’t believe I haven’t rated any Lake Placid beers! Pours a deep cloudy reddish brown body with a big beige head. Good lacing. Weaker aroma of spice, caramel malt, sugar and some light hoppy scents. Flavor is also caramel maltiness, spice. Medium bodied. Smooth easy drinking. This could be a really great beer if it had some bolder outstanding flavors. Otherwise a good beer from NY.
