ATLBeerDog (142), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Jun 20, 2008 Pours a deep red/brown with not much carbonation. No head. Light smells of malt. Very light body. First taste is rather bland malts followed by a slight bitterness. Very light and mild. Less flavor than I expected.
SpringsLicker (1812), Tennessee, USA Aug 14, 2008 Thanks to jcwattsrugger for this one.
Clear rich brown body with a touch of ruby at the edges. Sits under a long lasting off-white head.
Sweet malt aroma with a touch of cinnamon.
Dark caramel sweetness with no hop presence.
Thin. WeeHeavySD (1699), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Jul 10, 2008 12oz bonus from a trade a ways back. Pours amber with a generous 3 finger tan head. The nose seems to have a bit of nutmeg. Taste is sweet and oddly spiced. Strange indeed. djones (60), Michigan, USA Jun 24, 2008 Amber brown color. weak caramel, hops, body, flavor. pretty light bodied and simple. not much stepping out of the ordinary here. nice lingering bitterness, however. ChainGangGuy (1506), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA Jun 21, 2008 Appearance: Pours a reddish-hued body with a smallish, frothy, off-white head.
Smell: Slight bready malt aroma with mild notes of caramelized sugar and a woodsy hop character.
Taste: Dry toasty, caramel maltiness with a very restrained sweetness. Woody, somewhat spicy hops with a mild bitterness. Same until the finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Not the most thrilling or exciting amber by any stretch of the imagination, but it sure is sweet that a portion of proceeds are donated to local emergency services. Yes sir, mighty sweet.
