On draft at Vista location. Color was dark auburn with a light brown head. For the style, the flavor and aroma were good. Aroma of red malt, almost strong ale smelling. Caramel and fruit. Flavor of cocoa, fruit, red malt. A bit unrefined, but still good tasting.

If I were stuck on a desert island with kegs of this stuff and a beautiful woman, I’d kill her so she wouldn’t drink the beer...it’s that good.

Sample at the Irvine brewpub. The beer is a clear dark reddish-amber color with a thin and creamy beige head that burns away slowly. Stringy lacing. Aroma of caramel and toasted malt. Medium, clean body with flavors of sweet caramel malt, nuts and mild hops. The finish is roasted nuts and malt with a lingering sweetness left over. Slightly above average overall.
