Swing top bottle. Aroma was sweet, nice bouquet. Appearance a nice brown color. Flavor started smooth and slightly sweet. Nice on the palate, just slightly watery. Finish was good, leaving a malty hop character, just a trace of chocolate which complements it nicely. I could drink many of these without a problem. Who cares what my favorite is; just drink this and enjoy a good beer from a good, small brewery.

Nel (180) - Virginia, USA - OCT 20, 2006
Pretty standard dark brown with a orange hue. Taste is wheaty with some sour hops and decent malt. The beer seems to be a little on the thin side for my taste. All in all a better than average beer.

nick76 (3461) - Tampa, Florida, USA - OCT 20, 2006
The aroma has cola, caramel, toasted bread, and nuts. The appearance is like cola (red/brown). The head is average and fades fast but leaves a lot of lace. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is smooth but a little on the thin side. The aftertaste is slightly acidic with well toasted malt. This is well made but not my thing.

Cobra (1076) - In a van, down by the river, Maryland, USA - OCT 7, 2006
16.9 oz. swing top bottle. Weird freshness date on back label. Poured out a dark amber color, with red highlights. Decent tan colored head. Faded quickly though. Aromas of sweet malts, roasty notes also. Flavors are of burnt sugars, caramel, earthy hops. Decent beer, but not my favorite.

Clear dark cherry body with a small creamy tan head. Sweet molassas aroma with a malty hint. Sweet light honey flavor on a dark malty backgorund.

jeffc666 (1983) - Fairfax, Virginia, USA - AUG 30, 2006
Clear ruby with a nice full rocky tan head. The aroma is subtle, caramel and some light floral notes. The flavor is similar to the aroma though it has a decent bitter bite. Light body very quaffable. Nothing speical but drinkable.

bb (4577) - Alamo, California, USA - AUG 18, 2006
Bottle. Dark mahogony beer with a nice dark cream colored head. Rich toffee/caramel aroma. Lighter bodied. Light caramel malt flavor. Easy drinking. Too bad the flavor doesn’t keep up the the aroma, because the aroma really brings you in.

bu11zeye (9614) - Frisco (Dallas), Texas, USA - AUG 15, 2006
(500ml bottle) Pours clear mahogany body with a moderate creamy beige head. Aroma of sweet malt, nuts, and flora. Flavor of caramel, nuts, light toastiness, mild hops, and indescribable sweetness.
