May 8, 2008 This was a nice change of pace at DLD. Had a nice sweet fruitiness to it. It was also on the dry side. I’d drink this one again.

May 8, 2008 Sample at DLD; due to a line screw up I originally had it rated under RR Compunction. Original rating copied and paste below (Real ale sample at DLD; probably had about a close to a cup of it. Flavor was more sweet than tart for me. Alot of fruit in the flavor; some citrus and berries. Some oakish and wood elements. Palate reminded me a bit of seltzer water. It seems like I was one of the only ones not overly impressed. )

May 5, 2008 On-tap at O’Brien’s a few weeks back. Smells malty sweet and slightly sour, like sour mash. Looks clearish red/brown, fluffy offwhite head, some lace. Tastes malty sweet, oatmeal, chocolatey but lighter than a stout. There is also a bit of booze flavor on the finish. Smooth, medium body with mellow carb. Tastey and better than Saucerful of Merkin for sure.
