Nov 17, 2007 Had this beer at the All Colorado Beer Fest on 11/10/2007. Aroma is malty with light hop tones. Color is brown with good carbonation and a loose head. Its got a bold malty body with light hop flavor and mild bitterness. Its a good Amber, much hoppier then most.

Nov 11, 2007 Draught at All Colorado Beer Festival. Pours clear amber with a spare, fizzy, off-white head, diminishing with spare lacing. Aroma is average malt (cookie, caramel), light hops (herbs, grass), average yeast (dough, meat) with notes of dates and toffee. Medium bodied, slick texture, soft carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, moderate sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.

Jul 7, 2005 Deep amber-red hue with a nice and lasting head. Soft and tremendously smooth with a mild carbonation. A little chewy, even. Big caramel, with lesser notes of nuts, toast and a hint of earthy wood. Sticky caramel lingered in and out. Hops were lightly grassy and a little herbal. Somewhat drying in the finish ... wrestling with the cloying sweetness. Quite a bit of malt flavors going on. Kind of like a Fat Tire on steroids. Sweetness got a little heavy at times, but it wasn’t too bad. I would’ve liked to see less sweetness or more bitterness, or both, but it was surely drinkable. Even with the tall pints they poured us.
