2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle. Buttery caramel malt aroma. Dark amber with small head. Sharp acidic and bitter flavor up front with a light buttery malt flavor to finish. Get a matallic aftertaste - tastes like water softener water for the few that actually might understand that analogy. Decent but the metallic flavor kind of messed it up for me.

pours a copper amber with a one finger off white light tan head. aroma is caramel malt and some hops. has a light to medium body with ok lacing and good carbonation. flavor is roasted caramel malt with some hops and a little nutty characteristic. has a little bite from the hops and a little dry hop aftertaste. not bad. has a small apple flavor as well and a little chocolate aroma and flavor. aroma and flavor get a little better as it warms. kind of an amber/esb and the hops come out a bit more flavor and aroma wise.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: JAN 31, 2009 Bottle, best before 14907. Mostly clear copper color, with small head that almost lasts. Aroma is brown sugar, molasses, and toasted nuts with slight alcohol. Flavor is toasted pecan, barley and dryish malt. Some slight hop bittering and tingle at the end. Palate is smooth, dryish and light-medium bodied. Nice.

Very nice looking - burnt sienna, if I remember my crayolas correctly ;-> Taste is butterscotch and toffee, palate is super malty. A bit of hops just to balance the sweets.

Made my own Wild Goose variety pack while visiting my daughter at WVU. Bottle. Aroma thick malty nose. Pour was an darkened amber. Flavor was molasses and toasted malts mixed nicely together. Palate was medium bodied with a nice even finish. Overall a good beer to have around tasty and not overkill on the buds.

12 oz bottle via Decaturstevo (thanks!). This one is a dark amber with an average size beige head. Nose is earthy hops and toasted grains. Tastes just like it smells with a little honey flavor and a bit of citrus in the finish. Very nicely balanced. Carbonation is medium as is the body. Goes down smooth and easy, i could easily enjoy a few of these.
