| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Jun 19, 2006 Draught at the brewpub. Clear. Dark amber in color. Almost clear with only a slight oily feel to it. Sweet malty aroma with some hops balancing the sweetness. Medium-bodied. Mouthfeel is lightly syrup, but still it is quite drinkable. Finish is somewhat sweet. Low in carbonation. mdi (573), Nebraska, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jun 17, 2006 12oz bottle...Pours a brownish-red hue...not much froth produced on this. Aroma is full of malt, carmel...not very intense though...Drinks pretty much as expected...body seems lighter than it is because the beer seems to be lacking in CO2...so it comes of a bit lifeless and flabby. Malts dominate with carmel being the main character. Sweet, but some slight lingering bitterness shows up...though not quite enough to balance out the crystal malts. This is something I can drink easily, although a more prominent hopping would help add some depth and balance. Thanks Brent! I enjoyed it. ratman197 (3204), Arvada, Colorado, USA

Aromas of sweet malt, carmel and a hint of molasses. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of carmel, sweet malt and some earthiness with a smooth lingering sweet finish. A very malty beer with no noticable hops. SledgeJr (2960), Omaha, Nebraska, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 25, 2006 In the bottle. Thanks bditty187! A bit lighter red thana woman’s bad hair coloring job. Off-white head, but the head retention is so poor that I’m not sure of it. Has a slight caramel aroma. Butt slight. Very sweet beer. Candy sweet in fact. Makes you acutely aware of the lack of hops. I get a bit of an odd vegetable flavor to this beer. The texture is very flat. dp (512), uniontown, Ohio, USA
