Allthatisevil (48), alabaster, Alabama, USA Oct 23, 2007 Smells great and has a nice red/brown colour. The flavour is basic it taste of light fruit and malty. Is an adverage beer scrizzz (1250), kirkland, Washington, USA Oct 16, 2007 not much malt aroma, some spicy hops. flavor is light as is the body. creamy dark fruit finish. Heathen (723), Riverside, New Jersey, USA 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 (1382), St. Louis Park, Minnesota, USA Oct 12, 2007 Bottle. Roasted malt, Noble hops, caramel and nuts on the nose. Pours a fairly attractive brown with a thin white head. Toasted malt, hops, a hint of caramel and nuts on the palate. Medium bodied. Not too bad for a macro brown. kwoeltje (1313), Manchester, Missouri, USA Oct 11, 2007 Updated: Oct 28, 2007(bottle) medium brown with fluffy light tan head. Faint malt aroma. Very slightly sweet malt flavor, fairly dry. Medium body. cheapdark (2011), Monacatootha, Pennsylvania, USA 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. mrant (330), New York, USA Oct 9, 2007 Smells of caramel and bitter hops. Pours a deep dark brown, almost looks black. Taste is light and sparkling with notes of bitter caramel. Different than the brown ales I’ve tried, but very good all the same. CaptBier (301), Birmingham, Alabama, USA Oct 7, 2007 Bottle. Good brown color with thin white head. Light aroma. Nutty, roasted malt flavor. Pretty overall mild brown ale.
