Oct 10, 2009 Aroma shows a bit of tea, caramel and unfinished malt. Flavor is much the same with a slightly bitter finish. Nice round mouthfeel, but unusually placed sweetness lingers long into the aftertaste. Seems unrefined. Perhaps a bad bottle.

Oct 8, 2009 Serving: 12 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Cloudy amber with a very effervescent, reddish/tan head.
Aroma: Malty with notes of caramel, carrots, and tea.
Flavor: A strong metallic note is the first thing I taste. Caramel, a twinge of tea, and a slightly oxidized note come along for the ride. This one is past it’s prime. A slight fruitiness emerges as the beer warms. It almost has a little winey character to it.
Palate: Medium, relatively smooth carbonation with a medium mouthfeel and a slightly dry, medium finish.
Overall: Better than average but still not a great Amber.

Oct 5, 2009 I think this beer is pretty decent as far as Amber Ales go. Definitely worth a six-pack, but not more than one over a long-period of time. Duck-Rabbit is superior when it comes to darker beers, average with stuff like this.

Oct 4, 2009 Hazy amber color with a small, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malts, toffee, nuts, light brown sugar, citrus, and some floral hops. Taste of toffee, nuts, caramel, citrus, and light bitterness.

Sep 28, 2009 Pours amber colored with a disappearing orange/tan head. The aroma is lightly fruity, caramel, toffee, and nuts. The flavor is fruity with berries, caramel, nuts, and a mild hoppy/nutty finish. An OK amber, kind of watery, but with a nice finish.

Pours a dark copper/amber color with golden orange hues when held to a light source and a thick frothy two finger head that immediately fades into a lasting ring, leaving sporadic splotches of off white soapy lacing.
Caramel malt aroma which is pretty sweet smelling with hints of hazelnut, biscuit, cinnamon spice and subtle hops.
Slightly flat earthy mouthfeel with very earthy hop forward presence. Caramel malt back bone with subtle brown sugar/cinnamon spice and a dry hop finish. Kind of a bland session beer with a earthy(literally dirt) flavor that’s kind of off putting. I’d like to try this one again, possibly on tap or another bottle.

Sep 18, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours cloudy amber in color with foamy tan head. Aroma malty, caramal and floral hops. Taste roasted malt and caramal with bitter finish.

Sep 4, 2009 Amber red color with spotty bubbly white head that seems to list from side to side on top of the beer. A good deep whiff returns smells like cherries, sweet syrup, fruits, but they are subtle. A very good flavor for an amber/red but not quite up there with Nugget Nectar (my favorite). I would drink this on a regular basis if it were possible. I think Duck-Rabbit does a really good job on all their beers. Yum.
