Apr 25, 2008 Pour is a dark red with a small white head. Aroma is of sweet caramel malts with a touch of hops. Flavor is almost the same. Lots of sweet malt with an citrus aftertaste from the hops. This wants to be an American strong ale really bad but i does not quite make it. Still this is an ok ale to drink on a rainy night.

Apr 21, 2008 12oz from a beer club. I hadn’t had this one in many years, and it holds up nicely as a well hopped American red ale. It’s got a substantial malt presence, and a sweet quality that befits the style. But I definitely enjoy the bite, which has a lot of pepper and a bit of grassy freshness to it.

Apr 19, 2008 Bottle. Light ruby to amber body with a light khaki head. The aroma is iced tea and caramel. There is also a little bit of oranges. The taste is light milk chocolate with some cereal and sweet pancakes. Nice, surprisingly bitter finish.

Apr 14, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear dark amber with a medium sized beige head. The aroma is moderately sweet, caramel, fruity, and a hint of pine. The flavor is much of the same; sweet, caramel, fruits. All in all a pretty standard amber. Drinkable, but not anything to get excited about.

Feb 29, 2008 Bottle. Small vanila head that mostly diminished, floaties, hazy, splotchy amount of lacing, and an amber hue. Nose was malty, caramel, hoppy, and bitter. Ditto for the flavor. Fairly smooth mouthfeel and light-medium body. Not a great beer by any means, just nothing truly stood out with it.
