Sep 27, 2008 Thanks to Secret Santa. So afer reading that this may be st it’s prime, The Bride and I decided it was time to go ahead and sample this. after a messy opening, it poured a almost purplish red with a pretty sizeable beige head aroma was a lot of English toffee, mixed with some molasses and brown sugar. Very rich and smooth. Flavor wa sweet, a lot of toffee, and vanilla in the background. As it warms, notes of almond or black walnut emerge. some rum, and just the slightest hint of coffee in the background. The second pour was cloudier and yeastier, as one might imagine, ith a few grassy and herbal notes. Fabulous beer.

Sep 10, 2008 Bottle, at BA Throwdown #2. Brownish pour, opaque, creamy white head, and nice wet lacing. Mostly caramel and vanilla nose, some hops, elements of allspice and very distant pumpkin. Smooth flavors of caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, malty goodness, some chocolate in the finish. Aged well, smooth medium body, very drinkable and devoid of oxidation.

Sep 7, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Quake1028. Pours a slightly hazy amber with a one finger off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt, caramel, citrus hops, and pine hops. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium full mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness and smooth alcohol. A damn fine brew.

Sep 3, 2008 Updated: Sep 4, 2008Trust me, if I would have wanted my kitchen painted I would have hired a painter. Ummm, beer paint. Rerate; Now that I have had time to clean my kitchen I am ready to add a few things. I have NEVER had a bad beer from Alesmith so I was taken aback by the wave of beer that splattered me. I really need to get my ego in check and take all my beer out of my windows and stop trying to impress my neighbors.

Sep 1, 2008 Dark auburn color with an almost tan head that looks rather enticing. The flavor is a subdued hop character that I would assume got that way through a little aging. Definitely plenty of caramel malts come out as a result. The flavor has a wonderfully pleasant note of chocolate in it as well, which I wouldn’t expect an a red ale. I really can’t get over well the caramel and chocolate come across in the flavor either. It’s fantastic. It finishes nice and smooth a a solid creamy body. Guys at Alesmith have done a great job here.

Sep 1, 2008 My favorite part of this beer is the chocolate. I love the unexpected chocolate in lighter hoppier beers. A little bit of alcohol in the aroma and taste, but not too much. Anise. Good looking beer. Palate is solid but nothing too special. Chocolate in the finish is really really good, but the hops aren’t that great.
