This was an ok beer, nothing spectacular. A bit malty for my taste. It got better as it got warmer.

Aug 27, 2008 Bottleworks in Santa Rosa. Red colored pour with small head. Caramel malt on the nose with little else. Flavor was toffee, touch of chocolate and some darker fruits with a touch of hops. Decent beer.

Jul 14, 2008 22oz Bottle from BevMo Carmel Mountain. poured an amber/red color with small off white head. Aroma was dark caramel malt and some toffee notes. The bitterness was on the light side with more of a hop flavor. Finish was sweet with caramel malts playing a big part.

Jun 7, 2008 In the bomber bottle from HyVee CB. Pours a ruby-dark purple amber with a thin to nearly no head that might be of white. I’m not getting very much aroma here, perhaps a slight caramel maltiness. The flavor is quite palatable: mild hops with a bit of chocolate. Good malty fruitiness with some plums and raisins. Nothing is big about this beer, but it is good and holds up to scrutiny.

Jun 3, 2008 Bomber. Poured clear reddish-orange with a tremendous cap of sticky beige head. The aroma picked up sweeter, dusty toasted caramel notes with what came across as a cardboardey infection.. didn’t do a whole lot for me. The flavor had toasty caramel again at the core with a touch of sour darker fruits.. lemony acidity and dry, tacky cardboard on the back-end.. ugly finish. Thick and invading carbonation on the palate leading to a poor flow.. this was not good.

May 9, 2008 Bottle from Bevmo. Malt profile offers a caramel & roast profile, hops flavors come through and help with the finish. Overall this is not striking a chord but it’s certainly drinkable.
