Beardface (977), Eugene, Oregon, USA May 1, 2009 Going on memory here since it’s been a while, but I remember a deep amber pour with a moderate white head. Hefty on the malt in both aroma and flavor, with zero complexity and a too sweet and cloying mouthfeel. stchloe (473), Portland, Oregon, USA Feb 22, 2009 A great color for an amber. A very deep and rich red shade of amber. Apart from a neat color... RSRIZZO (1345), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Sep 21, 2007 Had this ber on 5/27/1998. Color is a deep rich brown with a touch of amber, very good carbonation and nice head. Aroma has is a sweet malt scent with slight hop tones. Taste is earthy and a little woody. It starts off with a medium body with the malt flavors coming threw, then it goes down easy and begins to turn earthy. The finish has what I can only describe as a wood like taste as if it was fermented with tree bark. Is not bad but I prefer an amber that has a good malt taste not the taste of a tree. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Date: 10/15/1996

AustinMilbarge (681), Denver, Colorado, USA Jan 5, 2007 Cask-conditioned at the alehouse. Fuzzy mouthfeel, subtle coppery and malt flavors. Creamy head. txmilligan (9), Azle, Texas, USA does not count Feb 13, 2006 Excellent overall beer. I recommend it widely for those looking for a new beer to try. jennajlover (101), Portland, Oregon, USA Jan 20, 2006 Very malty orange/red color with a nice head. Good rich mouthfeel and palate. Its all about the malt CaptKirk (175), Hephzibah, Georgia, USA Oct 22, 2005 Rich deep red hue with a malty aroma. Their description is a scottish ale, but I found it to be a just plain red ale. Good malty beer that finishes clean. I liked this beer, but is not my favorite. If you thought this one was ok, try the Ebenezer.
