Bottle. Clear dark copper body with a lingering off-white head. Faint bready aroma, lightly hopped. Tastes watered down overall, with an off-balance combination of brown sugar and pumpernickel. Near the bottom of Sam’s offerings, in what is admittedly a weak style.

Sep 3, 2008 Pours a reddish bornw color with an off white head. Aroma was really sweet, some roasted malts and nuts. Flasvor was not so much nutty, but really sweet, some hints of honey, and plain malt.

Sep 1, 2008 Dark red with a small off white head. Nice malt aroma with some metallic notes. Flavor of honey, pale malts, roasted malts, and hops. Medium body with a bitter finish.

Aug 30, 2008 (Bottle). Mildly sweet malty aroma. Dark brown in color with thin disappearing head. Flavor is mostly watery, a little maltiness. More malt comes out in the finish. Disappointing.

Aug 29, 2008 Sweet aroma, pours brown with a tan head. Tastes like malt with a slight sweet and hop flavor, little watery. Finishes with a slight thin bitter taste. Not a terrible beer, but tastes very similar to SA Boston Lager without the grassy taste. Probably won’t buy this again.

Aug 25, 2008 Nice deep purply brown with a two finger light tan head, recedes quickly. Good sweet aromas, sweet cinnamon breads but no noticeable hops. Flavors are sweet, caramel and even slight plumminess or some dark fruit. Body is tingly on the tongue, the refreshing carbonation borders on overdoing it but helps make this beer finish easily. Unfortunately with no noticeable hops in the finish it is sweet all the way through.
