hellbilly (1502), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA Nov 27, 2008 on tap at papago... dark auburn brown yet still clear with a soft creamy white head and lots of webby lacing. the aroma is very caramel-y and sweet with just a slight touch of roasty grainy dryness. palate is overly sweet and malty/grainy which makes for an unimaginative and weary brew. a touch of spice and some VERY mild bitterness show up on the finish. medium to full bodied from the sugars with a prickly mouth feel from high carbonation. LtDan (471), LA - Originally from South NJ!, California, USA Oct 26, 2008 Sampled at Corner Butcher Shop in LaVerne,CA. Poured a dark auburn. Sweetness in the aroma, and the flavor was almost overtaken by the sweet malts. Needed more hops in what was an otherwise great attempt at the style. The mouthfeel was nearing sticky. Too pricy and too sweet. Saarlander (1577), Saarlouis, Germany Oct 17, 2008 Poured a nice Ruby colour, slight head. A bit sweet on the first sip, fruity, Sticky. Slight burned malt flavor, slight hop flavor, very decent brew, warming.
