Flavor begins with roasted malt and finishes with a nice hoppy bang. Overall, a good amber ale. BOLTZ7555 (1088), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 6, 2008 The best aspect of this one is undoubtedly the appearance. Huge pillowy eggshell head and a dark garnet body. Typical hop profile with a little grassy undertone and a little roasted malt. Nice session beer but not one I’d seek out.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 4, 2008 On tap at Pizza Port in Carlsbad, CA--Poured a rich amber body with a medium white head. Roasted and robust flavor with a decent hops profile and a mild malt bite. Considering low alcohol, this beer brought a nice full-bodied richness. Citrus, pine. Not bad at all! sunevdj (1771), Copenhagen OE, Denmark

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 22, 2008 Draught No head to speak of; deep ruby-amber beer. Hops, dark grapes, lightly smoked pinewood, chocolate cake. Well-filled cake with hops, more dark grapes, raisins and leather. Surprisingly light MF, not empty, but all the same watering out. A dark variety on the Stone principle. To try out, even if I’m not in love with it as with the Bastards. Dorwart (1814), Robbinsville, New Jersey, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 20, 2008 HUGE head!! At least 3 inches in my tulip glass. Settles slowly. Very dense and creamy on top. Not hoppy aroma with some roasted malts, citrus hops, lemons and a bit of caramel. Very nice crimson brown in color. Lots of roasted grains in the flavor with a bit of caramel, some toasted bread, bitter grapefruity hops and a light fruityness. Easy drinking with a lingering roasty and bitter aftertaste. A good everyday drinking brew. Nice and hoppy.
