Sep 24, 2007 500 ml bottle from Country Club liquors; nose of fig newtons, vanilla, and caramel malt; rusty cherry color with a medium beige head; flavor has light fruitiness, hop bitterness, and the finish is the hops. Decent old ale, would be a good session brew except for the $4.49 cost!

Sep 23, 2007 1pt 9oz bottle bought at Bayville Package Store, Selbyville, DE...pours reddish-brown in color with a sudsy light beige head...sweet smell of malt, dark fruits...taste was sharp, bittersweet, yet semi-dry with a bit of alcohol in the aftertaste...medium mouthfeel...this is a really good ale, too bad I only bought one...reminds me of a lighter Old Foghorn that I also have in my fridge.

Sep 10, 2007 Dark copper hue. Small reducing head. Strong nose of malt, alcohol and raisins. Luscious mouthfeel of malt and raisins, plum and hop. Nicely balanced with some hop. Low carbonation. Reminds me of a Barley Wine. A very good drink.

Aug 17, 2007 Updated: Oct 29, 2007The Riggwelter is an excellent example of its style. The beer pours with a soft head that lingers with lace patterns on the glass. the inviting arome is filled with black current and grape notes. A deep brownish-red hue cries out to you to drink the beer. The entry is rather big: malty, roasty, and smokey but also smooth with no sharp edges. Aftertaste lingers delectably in the back of the tongue, and the mouthfeel is delightful. More-ish for sure.

Aug 10, 2007 Character galore in this one. I loved it from the first dark, full-bodied sip. A fine English ale.

Aug 8, 2007 Bottle -- Pours a light brown with no visibile carbonation and a huge frothy beige head with some retention and heaps of lacing. Quite a subtle aroma of roasted malt with a little bit of, perhaps, banana and fruit. Slightly watery mouthfeel. Flavour is a treat, with lots of roasted malt, stewed fruit and some bitterness near the end. A nicely balanced drop.
