thickish body and foamy mouthfeel this beer has balanced and recessed flavors of pine hop,citrus and malt syrup flavors precipitated with a bit of fruit punch gum like flavor and then ending with the cereal malt and two toned hop. GIANTS ARE FOREVER!

Pours a dark brown amber with a thin white head. The aroma is very sweet, butterscotch, caramel, toffee. The taste is much more of the same. Typical Mad Anthony brew. Too one-dimensional with no dryness or bitterness to speak of. Not great.

Tap at Warsaw pub. Sweet buttery caramel malt aroma. Clear deep amber, off white ring, a little lacing. Very sweet caramel malt flavor balanced with a light hop finish. Medium body. A solid brew, although not exceptional.

On tap at Mad Anthony Elkhart and served in a shaker. This beer poured a dark amber brown hue with a one-finger thick head of light tan foam. Some light lacing was left around the glass. The aroma included mild caramel, nuts, and a very light noble hop note. The flavor was also very light and mild. Light caramel and nuts, followed by a light note of brown sugar. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied but somewhat watery. Lightly carbonated. Drinkable, but pretty tame for a winter warmer type of beer.

Not a stand out. Pours a nice brown color with a red hue. No head or lacing. Aroma is fairly weak, some notes of nuts, spice, and candied sugar. Texture is a bit watery, but smooth. Flavor has the typical brown ale profile, but amped up with pine hops and spice. Notes of grapefruit and candy as well. Overall, pretty nice, just needs a bit more body and aroma.

Draft...08 batch. Dark amber pour with no head to note...nose is relatively bland, a bit of caramel malt and spice apparent but not assertive in any way. Medium body...flavor is mainly subtle christmas spice, toasted malts, caramel malt and some earthy hops on the back end. Good, quaffable brew but needed a bit more in the nose.

Growler courtesy of a traveling friend. This beer is a dark brownish-amber color with a thin beige head that diminishes quickly. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of spices, roasted malt and hops. Medium-bodied and moderately spicy with toasted malt, floral hops and some tart fruit, The finish is mildly sweet malt with a lingering spiced hops aftertaste. Pretty solid all around.

UPDATED: APR 27, 2008 Terrific! Had on tap at Paula’s Seafood in Fort Wayne...what a great beer! Amber brown great mixture of malts and hops. some fruit. Had 3 of them and can’t wait to have them again. Excellent beer

Tap. Cherry malt aroma. Reddish amber with small head. Strong malt flavor with bitter hops finish. A very different brown ale - very hoppy and quite fruity.

Draft sampler at Fort Wayne, IN. Dark brown color pour with a moderate creamy off-white head that lasted and had good lacing. Good toasted malt aroma. Medium body. Medium toasted malt and hop flavor with an average bittersweet finish of moderate duration.
