Commercial Description:

A.K.A. Pecker Head Red for the tap version
This Red Ale has lots of English 2 row malt and plenty of carmel (crystal) malt. It starts out very malty and carmely, almost smooth like, and finishes with a bit of hop flavor. Late kettle additions of warrior hops see to that. Enjoy a bit of this very drinkable smooth big beer.
This version of the beer was discontinued in 2004 as a Marzen and a Imperial Pale Ale took over.

Bottle. Deep copper, minimal head. Sweet overall with some hop balance. Fairly alcoholic. As it says, a fair autumn warmer...maybe too alcoholic.

22 oz bottle. Cloudy copper color with a small head. Aromas of sweet malt and candi sugars. Taste is medium bodied with some caramel and toffee. Balanced nicely but a bit on the light side. Easy drinking.

So this is the last of the Back Road supply that BigBadBear63 delivered cross-country, Cheers and Thanks again Boss! <br />Pours a deep muddy amber body with a very minimal head. Aroma and flavor are rich with malt, fruits & vegetables, plums, prunes, spiced Autumn apple cider, possibly even some butter nut squash. The palate is medium with a dry tart finish; I find many earthy notes such as that of cranberry sauce, yeah that&#8217;s right cranberry sauce is earthy!

Cloudy with thick head. Alcohol nose and taste--which I like in the creamier tripple. Hoppy finish with aftertaste of toast. Maybe it should have warmed a bit.

I found this to be quite muddy and unrefined. Cloudy brown body with an off-white ring of foam clinging to the glass. Earthy aroma, with some alcohol in evidence. Flavor was hard to grasp- musty, murky bread, fairly dry, and with a bitter aftertaste. Medium-bodied. I had a hard time picking out individual flavors. My gestalt may detect less than the separate parts themselves!
