Jun 4, 2008 This beer poured a reddish brown body with a medium sized white head. It had aromas of lightly roasted malts, coffee grounds and caramel. It ended with a long slightly hopped finish.

May 11, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, mahogany-hued body with a thin ring of white bubbles.
Smell: Light, clean maltiness on the nose. Caramel, a cup of fresh hot tea. Somewhat floral, somewhat fruity.
Taste: Grainy, light caramel maltiness. Faint, fruity hint of plum skins. Earthy, spicy bitterness, though it remains light. Lightly sourish finish with a taste of unsweetened tea.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Not a bad lil’ red ale, if you’re in the mood for a red ale, though I’d prefer Sam Adam’s Irish Red and 3F Brian Boru over it.

May 10, 2008 Pours a transparent copper amber with a thin, spotty-lacing off-white head. Lightly toasted grainy aroma has a touch of toffee. Body starts mildly sweet and grainy with some sugary notes and earthy bittering hops. Finishes thinner and bland. Not much too this.
