Dark red color. Dull nose. But fairly nice malt flavor. Definately tolerable and somewhat enjoyable.

I had a draft glass of this at the Bone Fish grill in Frederick, and it was pretty good. The beer was a dark amber, almost brownish color, with a creamy, dark tan head. The head faded some, but lasted throughout the beer, and clung to the side of the glass in light rings. Pretty good roasty aroma, mostly caramel malts, with a bit of cinnamon, and perhaps some piney hops. The flavor was a nice mix of sweetness and bitterness, that complimented each other well. It was a fairly wet beer, with a full body and good mouthfeel.

Hand bottled from Goldtwins. Pours a amber color with a huge foamy head. Nose is funny as this is a bit off but still has some caramel notes but little else. Still a great chance to try this brew.

Reddish brown with a moderate head, decent lacing and retention. Aroma is wood, caramel, hints of port or sherry (aging would probably bring lots more) and light hops. Flavor brings this, medium bodied with a slightly sweet finish. Rich malts made this enjoyable, nice.

Thank bro (beer hawk) for sending me this beer. It’s pours wtih a deep red-brown body topped by a thin to medium thick head with a good amount of lacing. It’s slightly sweet and malty with slightly sour oakey notes and finishing with a bitter hoppy notes with the slightest hint of pine. Full bodied, smooth and a touch warming.

From bottle. Pours a deep reddish brown with tan head. Light malty and spicy hopped nose. Flavor is slightly spicy malt. Some bitter in the finish. Palate is a little thin.

(draft @ The Old Toad - Rochester, NY) Dark copper color with a thick and puffy tan head. Aroma is very warm and spicy with some roasted malts, some cinnamon, and some gingerbread. Flavor is rather spicy mixed with some bread and a decent amount of hops. Finish is very balanced with some toasted malts and a touch of bitter hops. Medium-bodied.

On tap at Fuel and Fuddle. Dark copper body with small off-white head. Very mild hoppy aroma with a slight breadiness. Flavors of oasted malts and piney hops. Body is a little on the thin side.
