vadavid (131), Fredericksburg, Virginia, USA Nov 29, 2007 Updated: Jan 30, 2008Poured deep red-mahogany with very thin head that rapidly dissipated. Dark fruit and light malt aroma. Very sweet, malty flavor. Seems a bit on the thin side. Easy to drink but with some alcohol burn. Nice but lacks the pizzaz of other Troegs beers. mk70 (62), New York, USA Nov 25, 2007 Pours amber red, head disappears quickly. On the heavy side with a sweet roasted caramel flavor. Better for colder days, a bit heavy for my taste. darkninja67 (40), Boston, Massachusetts, USA Nov 22, 2007 12oz bottle- pours a nice reddish color. Sweet malt noted on both aroma and palate. Smooth and very drinkable. No bitterness noted. A good beer just not spectacular or complex. SamuraiArtist (292), portland, Oregon, USA Nov 20, 2007 Bottle thanks to Zathrus13 i think: Pours ruby red with a very thin white head. Smooth toasty malt sugars in the aroma and that distinct lager smell. Flavor is malty with toasty caramel notes. Some very light ethereal dark smooth fruits in there. Very smooth and crisp. Quite drinkable. ToadMan (554), Washington, Washington DC, USA Nov 14, 2007 Very fizzy and somewhat thin, but a nice rich mahogany color. Aroma is sweet malts. Flavor is much the same, lots of sweet malt, somewhat creamy, some unpronounced fig, not complex, too sweet, a bit too much of an alcohol presence. Im surprised it is rated as high as it is. Funknmilla (577), Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 14, 2007 12 ounce bottle...Head is soft and fluffy, but rests its self quickly...pours a very pretty red-amber with a tan head...aroma is sweet malts, minor hops subtle....creamy, and full to medium bodied...light malts and sweet, some alcohol in the finish, not very complex...muddled fruits like figs and plums maltdog (510), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Nov 13, 2007 Glowing jeweltone copper, thin head. Muted aromas of dough and buttery malt. Subdued nutty flavor, baking bread, flowery hop, and smooth grapey alcohol. Grainy finish with mild, muddy bitterness. Thin, slippery palate; flabby. Warming ethanol aftertaste. Well brewed, yet timid in all respects... might as well be drinking Newcastle. cbait21 (18), Delaware, USA Nov 6, 2007 12 oz bottle.. Reddish color with thin head that did not last long. Fruity aroma. Medium body nice malt and fruit flavors with a dry finish
