LinusStick (1596), Moon Township, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 9, 2008 Thanks to Mr Stitch for bringing this back. Aroma was pretty weak. All caramel malt and iced tea. Pour was a nice deep dark amber that looks brown until held up to the light. Taste was a little thin but it was all malt. Roasted and caramel malt with not much of an aftertaste. LIttle carbonation and no hops to balance it out but that’s what they were going for so they achieved it. decaturstevo (1335), decatur, Tennessee, USA May 17, 2008 A very malty aroma that reminds me of light brown sugar. A deep almost brown pour. Flavor is semi sweet maltiness with a tad of some kind of bitter finish. Just a bit foamy for me but not bad. I almost scored it a point higher on palate but couldn’t. Overall pretty decent drinker. It reminded me some of a brown ale. theisti (1180), Leawood, Kansas, USA Jul 25, 2008 12 oz bottle given to me by Dansting. Pour is clear brown orange, with a one inch tan head. Aroma of caramel and nutty maltiness initially, then a pretty big dose of chemical sourness. The other beer (Lager) I had from this Brewery had a very similar smell. Perhaps the bottles were handled similarly? Taste has less of the chemical sour, though the caramel sweetness is also gone. All that is left is some of the nuttiness and a pretty watery palate. Better than the other for sure, but still not my cup of beer. Thanks for bringing this one back and sharing, Dan. jb (775), Rochester, New York, USA Sep 28, 2007 Thanks Ron for the trade - this was a fine beer. Brown with bright red highlights. Decent head. Cherry, licorice, smoke and malt aromas. Toffee and caramel are very prevalent in the palate. Very enjoyable. Ron (771), Rochester, New York, USA Sep 30, 2007 I cracked this open to celebrate the Cowboys big win today. Surprised that it poured a small head for me that quickly left. Fruity aroma was ok as was the dark brown color. I was not expecting the sourness of the flavor which turned me off of this one alittle.
