I think I got this from BlackForestCO, if so, thanks!! I wanted to try this beer for a long time. Dark ruby/amber color with malty dark fruit aroma. Malty and spicy with medium sweetness and roasted cinnimon finish.

This beer has lost most its appealle since the reformulization of 2004. Far too much like a heffy now and lacking in body and over all flavor, that is unless you like a mouth full of lemon peels.

12oz bottle. Poured a deeper and muddy amber color with a huge sized off white head. Aromas of toasted malts, caramel, and a little bready. Tastes of basically the same.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy dark amber color with a medium creamy light tan head. Not too much on the nose but light caramel. Sticky lacing on the glass. The taste is a malty with a bitter finish. A good English Strong Ale from Bridgeport.

12oz bottle from BevMo. Spicy and doughy in the nose, some caramel and fruit; mild, sweet, burnt caramel flavor, a hint of nutmeg; smooth and creamy palate, nicely balancing bitter finish.

Bottle poured a clear dark copper with a lasting amber head. Aromas of fruitiness, carmel, light chocolate and a light hint of spice. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of cocoa, carmel, fruitiness and toffee with a smooth malty finish.

Reddish/brownish color. Not much aroma. Weak thin palate. Some roasty flavor and not much else. Ehhh, another boring average and especially flavorless beer from Bridgeport. Sort of reminded me of a cross between Killians Red and Shiner Bock. ’nuff said.

15 DEC 07, Southeast YeHa. 12oz bottle. Medium brown. Smells like cherries, or maybe some nice mince meat pie. Light bodied, sweet malts. Somewhat balanced.
