Dark red color, nice light tan head that stays there for the whole beer. Not the most complex tasting brown, but what’s there is very good and goes down smooth. Malty, roasted nuts, hints of chocolate. Really smooth finish. Allthatisevil (48), alabaster, Alabama, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 14, 2007 THOUGHTS: Not very memorable. Not bad just not that good. Initial flavor is really nice and then it all turns bad.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a dark brownish red with an average-sized, off-white head that mostly diminished but left a think sheet. The aroma was moderate toasted and caramel malt with salt. It smelled better as it warmed. The initial flavor was moderately sweet, while the finish was lightly sweet and light to moderately bitter with an average to long finish. There was moderate caramel sweettness at first but then gets a burnt toasty and bitter hop finish. I like hoppy finishes, just not this type of hop. Ite’s more of a lemony copperish finish. The medium body was watery to dry with very fizzy carbonation and a metallic and slightly chalky finish. tytoanderso (1385), St. Louis Park, Minnesota, USA

Pours a fairly attractive brown with a thin white head. Toasted malt, hops, a hint of caramel and nuts on the palate. Medium bodied.

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Oct 10, 2007 How did I miss this one till now? Pretty rare around these parts I guess. Dark complexion. Typical slightly sweet yeast beer aroma. Nice head. A little too bitter for my lager lovin taste buds on the initial taste hit. Excellent carbonation, the best I’ve had lately. The initial bitternes morphs into a milder industrial effect as the session continues. Finish is less bitter than expected but still leaves a mild to medium processed lingering semi-metallic bite on the back of the palate. The appearance and carbonation keep this otherwise below average beer slightly above average.
