Aug 26, 2009 Have had this at the brewpub and on tap at an Old Chicago. I was not a fan of this beer either way. There is something about it that is just not right.

Apr 29, 2007 Draft at the brewpub. AbV was listed as 5.7%. 24.4 IBU’s. Poured a slightly hazy orange red color. Head was slender, off white, and left some tattered lace on the glass. The aroma wasn’t exactly a show stopper, consisting of only subdued husky grain and a hint of grape candy. Dry on the tongue. The flavors were more complex and appealing than the aromas. Ininitally I noticed some fig and light brown sugar. However, there was also subdued white frosting, a touch of biscuity malt, and a lingering malty caramel/toffee note.

May 3, 2004 Redish in color with good head that stays around. There was good lacing also. There was a roasted smell. Taste was slighly hoppy with a shot of some grain.

May 2, 2004 Dark red-brown, hazy, with a large tan head. Excellent head retention and lacing. Very light hop aroma with a slight roastiness and a hint of berry sweetness. Flavor is quickly waning Cascade hoppiness that is not very strong or complex. Rye malt finish.
