Dec 22, 2009 330ml bottle. Pours a deep red to mahoganey colour with a rich deep off white foam head. A little hazy but robust looking with some sweetness in the aroma with a malt backdrop. Mild bitterness with a subtle sweetness blended in. Smooth and easy to drink. It takes a few mouthfuls for the flavour to really come through.

Oct 1, 2009 Bottle 330ml. Nice in the nose, but weak body. Aroma is sharply malty, with apple too. Flavour is not balanced, very sweet with very light bitterness. It has a thin and watery mouthfeel. Colour is dark red, with a fizzy thin head that disappears.

Aug 22, 2009 Bottle. Pours amber with a small white head. Rich amber malts, fruit, nuts and caramel. Good bitterness and a tasty beer. Perhaps not true to the style but I actually didn’t mind this one.

Nov 27, 2008 Bottle (330ml). Poured very dark hazy copper with a good sized, dense, frothy, off-white head which was mostly lasting (unlike most of the Otway Estate beers). Aroma was of biscuity malts with light earthy notes, cranberries, toffee and some buttery marmalade. Flavor was quite sweet (like most Irish ales) with a extremely light bitterness, smooth caramel malts, cranberries, blackberries, brown sugar and almond biscuits in the finish. Light to medium bodied with soft carbonation, a somewhat creamy mouthfeel, watery texture and an average lasting finish.

Nov 18, 2008 Red body with small head. Malty flavour with just enough hops to almost balance it out. Drinkable - easily but not a standout.

Aug 6, 2008 Interesting. Murky dull red / brown in colour with a forgettable head. Nose doesn’t seem right for the style but is very attractive; estery, fruity, mild piney notes, and maybe a little malt sweetness. Most of these characters pop up again in the palate, albeit at a much lower ’volume’. Seems thin in some respects given there is quite a high level or carbination, and a very slight burnt rubber note distracts me a touch. Flavours tail off completely at the finish. Notwithstanding, I can’t help but find this beer attractive.

Aug 1, 2008 Enjoyable beer. Pour is nice reddish-amber with anice off white head that lasts. Aroma is mainly sweet malts. Flavour is definately malt driven with nice rounded character, toffee, sugar some slight vegemite coming in for a brief second. Finish is reasonable with the roasted malts leaving a footprint on the back palate and some bitterness giving rounding it off.
