Mar 27, 2008 Bottle courtesy of hopscotch by way of WeeHeavySD.
Pours a clear orange with a whitish head. Awesome nose of caramel, toffee, and bread. Ultra smooth flavor with some dark fruits up front. Raisins maybe? Definite notes of chocolate as it warms and of course a long caramel finish rounds out this great Irish Ale. Awesome for malt heads like me.

Mar 23, 2008 Rating #4100... Bottle... Mostly clear Longhorn orange ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Perfumey, fruity nose tenders wafts of honey, biscuit and toffee. Medium-bodied with a milky mouthfeel and prickly carbonation. Malty-sweet flavor, but not cloying... caramel and sweet, golden raisins. Caramelly finish. Thanks go out to WeeHeavySD!

Mar 12, 2008 Tap at Churchill’s.
Pours light brown/red with a creamy 2 finger head. Smell is toasted malt, caramel, light hops and a mild chocolate. Taste is same with a weird metallic edge. Creamy mouthfeel with light carbonation. Decent beer.

Mar 11, 2008 Bomber. Poured a dull, deeper brown with a an explosive cap of off-white head (most of the glass). The aroma had an odd blend of cola and lightly-smoked toffee with bubbly detergent.. something seemed off, and this wasn’t very enjoyable. The flavor had smoky toffee again with some caramel and chocolate at the core.. light, drier herbal notes gave a cool impression on the sides.. quite a sweet finish that was rather enjoyable. Highly-carbonated and again, very sweet on the palate.. this improved as the drink progressed.

Feb 2, 2008 22 oz bottle via Hellbilly (Thanks!). Pours a semi hazy copper with a small head. Nose is sweet malts and toffee. Taste starts sweet, then some nuttiness, and then a sourness kicks in with a fizzy prickly finish. A bit of lemon/lime in there as well. Medium body, high carbonation. In any case it is drinkable, albeit a slightly below average red ale.

Jan 30, 2008 Bottled. Pretty dark amber color with some temporary off-white head and lacing. Sweet malty aroma of caramel, toasted bread, rye and brown sugar. Sweet toffee flavors and cinnamon spice mix together pretty nicely, with more caramel and a tad bit of a syrupy mouthfeel. Finishes underly bitter, and the nose fades rather quickly. Enjoyable with a hearty dinner and as a session beer, I was surprised to see this one rated so low.

Jan 2, 2008 My bottle (650ml) shared with HogTownHarry, tupalev & GregClow -- courtesy of toncatcher. Pours a clear amber with a small diminishing tan head. Aroma of lightly burnt caramel malt, toffee, fruit and faint hops. Flavour of caramel malt, butterscotch, fruit and light hops. Medium boded. An O.K. beer, I could drink it again.
