It was reminiscent of several Marzens that I have had of late. It had a beatiful cream-colored head that lasted indefinitely (well, until I drank it all down) and a beautiful amber color. The carbonation swelled and moved as I poured it...you just gotta understand...it was the way a beer is supposed to look. The taste was very complex, with notes of toffee and nuts. The aftertaste was comfortably sweet and the palate, encouraging to future purchases. Please, for your sake, drink this beer. ucsbdude (68), Santa Barbara, California, USA

Full bodied with a toasty malt backround and hints of vanilla.One of my favorites. vtmobile (41), USA

Orange amber colored beer smells of oak and malt. Nice balanced sweetness and hops on the palate. Good job Firestone/Walker!!!! brianjames1 (322), Northridge, California, USA

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 16, 2002 This is a great beer. Picked some up in Buellton. Oak barrel brewing adds a light, woody touch to a slightly spicy and fruity ale. Five blended malts, English and Slovenian hops. Medium caramel-brown, dark amber color. Good session ale.
