Commercial Description:

Like the first run of the day, this ale is deep and clean, crisp and drinkable, perfectly blended for a smooth ride...through the Looking Glass. Grains: British Dark Caramel Malt, U.S. 2-row Barley. Hops: Nugget, Willamette, Cascade and Top-Secret Brewmaster's Spice.

A very deep orange color with some hints of brown. A fairly large dirty tan white head. The aroma is very sweet, carmel, molasses and brown sugar sweet. The body is hoppy with a dash of spices such as nutmeg and cinnomen. I can dig this fine brew.

A dark amber color with moderate head. A caramel and floral aroma. The flavor is grapefruit, nutmeg, orange peel and cinammon. It has a hot flavor to it almost. Overall its pretty good.

Mahogany with a filmy white head and no lace. May be the crappy glass though. Aroma of caramel and brown sugar, some roasted notes. Flavor is bitter and a touch dry. A little heat and lots of caramel and some roast. Thick and heavy.

Draught at the Sidewinder Pub in Jackson, WY
Pellucid amber color, light head and lacing. Nose of metallic amber malts and light husk. Flavor is also metallic with light roast and a tangy amber sweet tail. Finishes bland, eh. I couldn’t really notice any spice but I likes the light roast aspect somewhere in the middle.

Bottle poured a clear copper brown with a small diminishing amber head. Aromas of roasted malt spices, cocoa and a bit of fruitiness. Palate was medium bodied. Flavors of roaszted malt, toffee, a hint of cocoa and light spices with a crisp lingering finish.

It poured a cloudy dark redish, amber with a with a tight 1 1/2 inch tan head. It had a stong, slightly sweet malt flavor followed by a hard hop hit. It had a good, almost smooth mouth feel. Well balanced, satisfying.

Pours a beautiful deep amber color with a loose head, little lacing. Smells sweet, and floral. Terrible feel. Tastes of light hops and carmel malt. Watery. sub-average.
