COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
What a better way to spend a fall evening than with a nice fall beer. Our Red October is based on a traditional Irish Red Ale and is infused with a blend of Cinnamon, Ginger, Nutmeg, and Allspice. We then topped it off with Pure Maple Syrup for a one of a kind taste. So sit back, enjoy the change in colors and welcome in a new spectrum of beer with us.

Tap at Capones. Pours a hazy brown with a small bubly off white head. This was a cinnamon bomb. Smelled like Golden Grahams coated in cinnamon. Maybe a touch of some ginger and nutmeg. Possibly some of the maple syrup. But cinnamon dominated the flavor and aroma.

Pours a murky amber-red-purple color with a small head. aroma of spice-cinnamon especially hits your nose. On the palate, cinnamon, nutmeg dominate with a hint of maple syrup sweetness. Like liquid cinnamon though.

Draught at Capone’s: Aroma of slight spices, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Poured amber/orange with a small, off-white, head that lasted around the edges only. Slightly hazy. Not sparkling. Ok lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet. Tastes of slots of spices, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Light body. Average texture. Soft to average carbonation. Cinnamon and nutmeg finish. Seems like spice for the sake of spice.

On tap at Capones. Poured a deeper and cloudy amberish/red color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of lots of cinnamon, graham crackers, and nutmeg. Spice bomb. Tastes of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and just a lot of psices.

Draft at Caones. Poured a deep dark red body with no head what so ever. Aroma was all spice, lots of cinnamon and nutmeg with a slight touch of acidic vinegar on the end. The body was thin and watery with soft carbonation. The flavor once again was all cinnamon and nutmeg. Not quite sure I agree with the name on this one as it conjurs up the idea of an Oktoberfest or Pumpkin beer when this one is all winter warmer/Christmas beer.
