Stine (1380), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA Aug 20, 2007 Tap at the Brew Kettle. Softly textured copper-red pour. Pine resins and maple wood on a smooth, bitter nose. Subtle to taste. A stark biscuit malt canvas, dry with cinnamon dust. Strokes here and there of cranberry skin, minerals, and dark raw nuts. Medium palate with a quiet strength. This is well-made and could benefit from a bolder sweetness to compliment its earthy tones. Very respectable. sliffy (1966), Columbus, Ohio, USA Aug 17, 2007 On tap @ Buckeye Beer Engine: Pours a clear dark copper color with an off white head. Aroma, caramel, toffee, and some slight nutty notes. Flavor, caramel and earthy some herbal notes as well. So so. JAF737300 (791), Tampa, Florida, USA Aug 10, 2007 POurs red copper. Has nice notes of citrus hops with a frim but balanced bitterness on the finish. KieferUGA (461), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Aug 6, 2007 12 oz. bottle. Pours a dark sienna. Aroma of sweet potatoes and beets. Medium sweet mouthfeel with a hint of honey. Dry, bitterness takes this beer across the finish line. Carl99Fan (186), Suwanee, Georgia, USA Aug 1, 2007 Pours with a caramelly red hue. Hoppy flavor. Medium carbonation. Some palatable fruitiness and malty sweetness.
