At the tasting session by Joes. A clear amber colored beer, with a small beige head. The aroma of hops with dark fruits and cognac. The taste is hoppy bitter with fruits like raisins, dry with a little chocolate. Notes of alcohol. The aftertaste is long bitter which moves over to sweet.

From a bottle poured a dark copper color with a fair amount of head. Nice malty flavor, little bit of bite with a lingering finish.

Bottle. Pours a clear brown that borders on crimson, with a medium white head that falls of quickly with a little lacing left. Clean almost medicinal aroma that borders on metallic. Thin to medium bodied and malty with a bit of sweetness and toast. Long bitter finish. Had I not known this was a Southern Tier beer I’d have never have guessed it. Quite weak for their usual standards, I was rather disappointed.

Bottle. Reddish brown color. Red grapes juice in the mushy aroma. Initial red grapes juice followed by a firm oily, earthy flowery hopbitterness. Notes of leather and plastic and alcohol. Not unpleasant, but there are some odd flavors.
