2.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 Doppelganger (1385) - Dry County, Arkansas, USA - JUN 30, 2008
Bottle, one of several very generous bonus bottles from my trade with Douglas88. Thanks! Warm amber, lots of butter colored fine head. Dry biscuit aroma along with an odd rusty nails quality, musty hay. Very dry toasty malt with a blood metallic edge. A twist of smokey grapefruit pith in the finish. Refreshing, but otherwise kind of odd. Wondering if this might have a bit of infection: oddly phenolic in a way that seems like bacteria may be at work.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 mikey (464) - farmington, Utah, USA - JUN 6, 2008
Poured on tap an amber hue with an off-white head that faded quickly. The nose was of burnt caramel and flowery hops. The flavor starts malty with a little nuttiness. Dry biscuit comes next. and finishes dry with a little citrus rind. It’s ok. A slightly above average amber.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 ditmier (1509) - Boise, Idaho, USA - APR 17, 2008
2008 Bottle - Thanks be to douglas88, slight aroma, amber colour, small frothy head, flavour on the front end of toasty malt, fleeting hop bitterness. The taste completely falls off on th back end, but the carbonation picks it up nicely. This was a nice treat...

surprise bottle from Douglas88.
nice amber pour, good head, retention, and lacing. Interesting aroma, some nice hopping, good malt, very well balanced. Very nice earthy flavour, some good grassy notes, and a nice bitter finish. Wicked session ale.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 rayg1 (525) - Charlotte, North Carolina, USA - APR 2, 2008
In interesting one Douglas send my way, thanks man! Pours out a deep brownish red with almost no head to it. Aroma is surprising as it was more bitter than I expected, no pine or citrus i the aroma of hops just bitterness. Maybe a touch of sweetness there at the end. Taste is very malty and doughy with a hint of sweet caramel. Pretty hoppy for an amber and I have to say I can’t complain about that, a pretty decent beer here.

UPDATED: MAR 13, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark red/brown with a thin white head. The aroma is mostly caramel and hops. The taste is a nice balance of piny hops and a dry caramel malt. A nice amber ale.
