2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Honey aroma with some crystal malts on the nose. Pours a light amber. Sweet malts with a slight hoppy flavor. There’s a cereal grain aftertaste. Not much here.

Bottle. Poured a clear amber/copper with a cream colored frothy head. Toffee, praline, lace cookie aroma. Caramel to toffee malt flavor with an earthy hop backing and a slightly spicy character. Medium to full bodied but a bit overcarbonated. Decent enough take on an English pub-style session, but nothing remarkable.

Bottle via the wife on her many and far flung travels. Not muchin the way of nose here, some Corny grain or wet cardboard. Body is light. Looks quite nice in the glass as the gold shimmers in the sunlight. A nice chainsaw repair beer. Head is ephemeral and fizzy. Went down quick.

Candied malt aroma, deep amber, small tan head. Taste is soft malt, woody notes, light bodied, balanced, some bitterness. Good. Thanks mds.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dark amber appearance with a medium size head and nice lacing. Bready, sweet malt aroma. Well balanced flavors, with spicy, flowery hops playing off the chocolate malts. Pleasing on the palate if only a little thin. Average length, slightly bitter finish.

Another beer I tried on tap at the brewery in Frederick. The aroma was good but not too exciting, dominated by a roasty malt scent with a mix of caramel and chocolate. A good, sweet flavor with a healthy amount of character; some bitterness too. The beer had a deep amber-copper color with a moderate off-white head that had average retention and cling. It had a fairly fizzy and lively mouthfeel with average carbonation. Overall a quality beer with some good character.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
From bottle... poured beautiful deep copper with short white head. Smelled kinds like a stale chocolate chip cookie (not bad... just interesting). Flavor was difficult to pinpoint. Kind of bitter, kind of sweet. Had a nice bubbling, but was disappointed when it left a slight film behind. Overall, pretty crisp and enjoyable, but I would have preferred a better flavor and finish.

pours a rusty amber with an off-white head. aroma is champagney, light malt/hop balance with some caramel. taste is a little malty, crisp, has some grape notes. though it’s not that bad, this one might be skunked, because i’m getting some weird flavors in comparison to other reviews. i’ll have to re-sample it. mid-bodied with a fizzy, prickly mouthfeel. not bad overall. refreshing-ish.
