Feb 24, 2008 Too much something. I don’t know if I got a bad bottle or if I just don’t like it. It had a caramel malty flavor and aroma, but there was too much bitter and an almost skunky flavor.

Feb 15, 2008 Updated: Mar 25, 2008Pours clear & copper, with very uneven and bubbling head, foaming away in the glass, slowly disappearing as I drink. Aroma of fruit compote, & toffee, not unlike many good English ales. First flavor notes are malts & caramel, leading to a moderate, slightly roasts (yum!) Some sips include a slightly papery flavor. Bitterness of medium length. Hops are on the subdued side. Very similar in flavor to Rogue Dead Guy Ale. Good drinking, but no epiphanies.

Feb 12, 2008 Updated: Feb 14, 2008Overall good beer - the aroma is fruity, the flavor yeast like and ending on a slightly bitter note. Much better altbier than Pinkus’. A good session beer, and at 5% you can session quite a bit. ON SECOND ANALYSIS: I like this stuff in session. A half yard filled with this stuff goes down very well. The malts really linger on the aftertaste - after the initial bitter goes away.

Feb 2, 2008 June 2006 - Thanks to eaglefan538 for sharing with me. This was an enjoyable amber. Nice head, even with only my 6 oz sample. Mouthfeel was thick and almost sticky. Flavor was sweet malts, some nuttyness and some mild european type bittering hops in the end. Complex and enjoyable.

Jan 19, 2008 Pours a nice bright amber color with a creamy medium size head. Great aroma of caramel and light hops. Sweet malty taste, with nicely balanced malt flavors. A good solid amber.

Jan 17, 2008 Updated: Nov 1, 2008Selected this on tap at a theater pub. Not a lot of choices and I’ve seen this rated well by others. Nice full taste for an amber. Well balanced, nice 3/4 inch head, good lacings. Enjoyed the beer and the movie. Recommended.
Update: Have had a few bottles since and must up-rate this some. Nice amber.

Jan 17, 2008 I find this to be a very nice amber ale. Always pleasing and consistent. This is my go to beer when I am in a place that has a lot of other crap on tap. A healthy maltiness, with lots of caramel and just a bit of a hop bite in the finish.
