Jul 23, 2006 Solana Beach. Aroma of sweet malt, with some underlying plums. Appears a deep red mahogany, with some effervescence, and with a huge head. Flavor is warm, mildly nutty, with underlying red berry. Palate is medium and appropriate. Overall, a very good brew.

Apr 23, 2006 On tap@Port Solana: Dark amber brown with a wisp of light tan foam. Aroma is lightly sweet and nutty. Flavor is malty sweet with a hint of cocoa, moderately bitter with a touch of spice. Light to medium bodied and smooth with moderate to lively carbonation. Served way too cold, flavor enhanced as it warmed.
