Bottle. Moderately sweet caramel earthy aroma. Reddish body, light tan head. Flavor is moderately bitter, with some fruitiness and caramel. A very nice amber ale.

Bomber pours deep copper with a bit of haze and off white head. The aroma has decent strength with citrus, near grassy hops mixed with stale wet cardboard maltiness, cherries and faint caramel. The taste is much the same starting with a pulse of hops and cherry cough syrup and mild stale maltiness. By midway the hops grow to become pine and grapefruit as a modest roasted malt note is noticed. It ends stale, mildly hoppy and with the hops lingering into the after taste.

Bottle. Very cloudy amber pour with a big off white head. Strong hop aroma and taste overpowers (in a nice way) the subtle caramel. Pretty Good.

Beautiful milky red amber. Nice lasting creamy head thats more typical in a stout. Coats the mouth rather nicely more so than I remember from similar beers. Very nice through and through. At 6% I think it masks it extremely well.

From a bomber, pours medium amber with a good off-white head, good amount of lacing. Sweet red beer with nice amount of bitter, piney hops. Well balanced. Nice dry finish. Well recommended.
