Very nice roasted malt flavor. Good head and creamy finish. Belgian lace was noticable with a nice bitterness.

Good beer, if you like malty, sweet, dark beers (which I do). Had a pint after dinner at the Brew Pub and after two pints of the Detroit Dwarf Zwickel. So perhaps it suffered after that excellent brew.

on tap-pours a light tan head and dark red color. Aroma is sweet medium malt/some musty/peat/chocolate. Taste is lots of sweet medium malt/some musty/peat/chocolate, a little fruit, some earthy hops bite. Medium body.

at the brewpub. certainly nothing wrong with this beer. it’s DBC’s flagship ale, so they can’t go out on too much of a limb. after all, they need the mainstream customers who visit on tigers’ and lions’ gamedays. caramel and dark malt, and some cascade and other north american hops - otherwise, plain. if you like malty red ales, you’ll love this one!
