RSRIZZO (952), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Nov 26, 2007 Had this beer on 1/12/2000. Aroma is a rich sweet malt scent. Color is a rich bright amber, carbonation is light with good head. Taste is full and roasted. Starting with a full body it goes down smooth and rich. Finish is a deep roasted flavor backed with a strong hop bitterness. Overall it seems to be a good winter brew. oldrtybastrd (1512), Morlautern, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany Dec 28, 2005 Pours a nice dark reddish amber color. Aromas of HOPS, and some other hints, maybe fruit, maybe caramel. Flavor is a bittersweet, malty, and hoppy with a nice dry finish. robertsreality (2462), Minnesota, USA Apr 12, 2005 Dark Brown/Red coloring with White Ring. Dried Cranberry, Sweet, and Malty Aroma. Sweet and Malty on Tongue as Well.. Cherry and Cranberry, Dry Ending. Nice. badgerben (3001), Blaine, Minnesota, USA Apr 11, 2005 Pours the color of mud. Heavy malt and caramel aroma. Rich malt in the taste with a bit of sweetness and almost a pinch of salt. Simple, but kinda tasty! DA (2280), Portland, Oregon City, Oregon, USA Mar 10, 2005 An interesting brew that i found the other day but hasn’t been around for a while. Pours a dark copper red, very clear, with a white head. Aroma is very strong and sweet, just like a well aged barleywine, big caramel malts, brown sugar. Taste was a big letdown though, very thin body with much less sweetness. There was a bit of oxidation in the finish and some faint spicing. I think this brew is a bit past its prime.
