does not count  Oct 7, 2007 Served on tap at the casino in 2007. Pale red/orange in color with a small white head. Moderate to light carbonation. Taste is somewhat thin and sweet with the overwhelming flavor of apples. No bitterness, no complexity and very dull and bland.

Jul 31, 2005 I figured since I had to fly back from Europe early that I may as well have some fun this weekend. On draught at the "Brewpub." Pours amber with a flat head. Smells a bit on the rosey side. Taste is of caramel and on the sweeter end.

May 20, 2005 On draught at the casino, 5/18/2005. Medium-brown color, some dark orange and dirty copper tones. Head is small and off-white, and recedes to cover, which lasts. Smells of caramel, bit of yeast and a touch of earthiness. Flavor begins with a big dose of caramel, baked brown bread, and then some bittering hops. A touch of hops flavor on the finish (they use hops pellets here). Body is actually respectable, much better than I expected. Above average extraction, sweet caramel and lightly crisp yeast on the end. Nothing complex, though. The carbonation is a bit high and goes from peppery to flat by the end of the glass. A little thin after it has warmed, on the end. For an American Dark, this is quite good, I thought.
