Aug 23, 2008 Just not crazy about alts. Flavor is too mellow for my tastes and after a slight hop finish it gets stale.

Aug 21, 2008 Receive as a BOTMC selection for August 2008: Labled as BBC Amber Ale. Poured from the bottle into a pint glass. Pour produced a clear amber body topped by a medium ecru head of foam. Aroma was of hay and malt. Medium bodied and bitter, this ale has a dry aftertaste at the end of the flavor profile. Initialy, this ale doesn’t have much of a palate and it’s overall taste is dominated by the dry, bitter finish.

Aug 12, 2008 On tap at BBC in the Cincy airport. Poured a nice shade of lighter amber with a well-retained eggshell head. The aroma was sweet with toasted barley and caramel malts leading the way.. the faintest hint of smoked peat laced through there was very enjoyable. The flavor had toasty caramel at the core with dry, scratchy, earthy bitterness surrounding (a hint of floral too).. finished kind of sharp as it lost its balance. Light-medium bodied with very active carbonation on the palate and a spicier finish.. OK feel.

Jul 31, 2008 Light mohagany coloring with a light frothy head. Solid structure in the nose a light bit of spice and toffee. A little grainy in the malt texture with a flavor of cooked grains in the finish. Leaves some great lacing behind. there’s something about the aftertaste I just don’t enjoy.

Jun 25, 2008 Bottle. Copper pour with a strong white head. Aroma is slightly nutty and spicy with caramel, toasty malts, and light flowery hops. Taste is spicy and floral hops, toasted malts, soft caramel, some earthiness and grass. Body is medium but strongly carbonated. Prickly dense bubbles lead to a lot of belching. The finish is more toasted malts, caramel, light grass, floral and spicy hops and a touch of iced tea.
