Mar 1, 2009 Sample from ceramic swing top bottle at Coles in Buffalo. Pours deep amber brown with a beige head. Some sweet malt aroma with a touch of hops. The flavor has sweet, almost toasty malts, with lingering floral hop notes and a rather bitter finish. Not bad.

Feb 19, 2009 On draught. At sharp edge creek house immense place! Rogue old crusty S2L3F1T3O4: Nice thick head on a light clear root beer colored brew. Head fades to a fine silky visual experience. Smell is a little off, not attractive. Sweet but repulsive in a kinda digested food way. It is perfume sweet too. Rather strong on the palate, coming across sweet. Wew,; perfume is carrying over to the taste. Big alky impact. Tongue big bitter palate. Way too much of a shocking experience for this lager lover, ooooh miiiiiy. Quite rude and difficult, at the same time,; it’s on style. Virtually flat, or at lest that’s all I can feel with these flavors. Big long medicine linger, will not try again.
