Has deep brown/red color with a slightly brown head which is a around one finger in height and lasts a long time. Has a very spicy hop aroma. Has a spicy hop taste also with a touch of bitterness. I detect a hint of sourness in the finish. Though it seemed rather strong at the start it soon mellows the more you drink it.

Dark red/brownish pour off white head .... sweet roasted malty aroma and a roasted nutty, caramel malt taste with a bitter sweet roasted finish ..... a different kind of irish red not just a caramel malt bomb here ... enjoyed it

12oz bottle. Pours a dark amber with a white head. Reminds me more of a scotch ale than a typical red. Primary taste seemed to be some sort of malty rye.

Pours a dark and deep amber color with a thick off white head. It seems to be a little cloudy. Aroma is of malts, coffee, and hops. Flavor is of malts, coffee milk, and some caramel. Leaves a coffee malt finish. This seems to be more like a winter ale to me. Similar to their Coffee Milk Stout.

12oz Bottle, purchased at Wakefield Liquors - Wakefield, RI. Generic red malt aroma, plain and clean. Pours a very dark red-brown, with an off-white lacy head. Wow. This has got a really rich and deep satisfying caramelized malt flavor. Somehow completely unexpected. However, there’s some strong fresh hop bitterness, that may push it a little far, but otherwise, it’s enjoyable. I’m surprised. This has some really strong, delicious malt flavors from an unassuming Irish Red Ale. Nice work.

Draft @ Monster B’s. Very dark ruby body. A simple well-rounded ale. Perfect session ale and perfect ale for a designated driver. Lots of flavor without too much ABV. Crispy and well-bodied.

( 12oz bottle thanks to jkwalking05) Pours clear red with nice bubbles. Nose of brown sugar and sweetness. Taste is lightly bitter hops, with a watery/nutty finish.

Bottle thanks to jkwalking05. The look is clear, brown in color, and has a small off white head. The smell is roasty, cocoa, chocolate, butter, and ok. The taste is roasty, slightly weak, malts, and cocoa.
