Oct 9, 2007 Draft - big caramel nose. A beautiful beer - deep amber with an off-white head. Big malty flavor with enough hops to balance. Very well done!

Jan 15, 2004 Rich teak wood or overripe tangerine rind in color. Medium head when beer is not too cold (in which case hardly any head is present). Rich, sweet and cake dough malts on nose with flirtation of apple and orange blossom, Outstanding. First taste is caramel, malt, cooked apple, and a surprise of allaspice that makes a brief appearance on each sip. Body is quite sweet and somewhat syrupy, but balanced by the spice and a mild hop finish. A well balanced and pleasing beer for such a ubiquitous brand. Consistently high quality from bottle to bottle.

Oct 15, 2008 Pour is a dark brown with a big tan head that stays around for a while. Aroma is all things caramel malts. Not much else comes through. Flavor is again nice deep caramel malts and some light flowery hops follow up after the swallow. A good example of the style.

Nov 8, 2003 orange brown. slight tan head, a bit frothy. smells so fresh, baked bread. immediate sweetness hits my tongue. excellent. sweet/(slight fruit/apple) - moderated flavor leaves me for more. pleasant aftertaste. a bit thick to my stomach - buttery (& a bit syrupy/cloying), smooth, could be the buttery end that's too thick for me. pleasant beer though. thanks tannertavernboy!

Oct 16, 2003 Nice beer. My first alt, actually. I like the body, medium maltiness. Before Belgians a Barleywines, I would have thought this was quite thick. No head, but I'm not certain if that's the style. Just OK, but I would buy it again.

Oct 7, 2004 not a bad amber for an alt style, I’d recomend Widmer’s Alt but you can only get it at there public house. decent taste but not as flavorful as I was expecting, kinda fuit with a consentrated malt body, this beer needs some hops, pronto.
