Aug 6, 2008 Sampled at Cellar’s Wine & Spirits weekly beer tasting. Pours a semi-clear dark copper amber with a fast dissolving off-white head that dissipates to a fine film and thin/bubbly ring. Aroma of toffee, caramel malt, some salt water taffy, and cream. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonation, with flavors of toasted biscuity caramel malt, a touch of chocolate, figs and dark fruits. Finish has a nice toasted malt aftertaste that is quite enjoyable. Nicely done!

Aug 7, 2008 Dark brown color with a medium head. Light orange aroma along with bread. Big bread taste. Lots of dark malts, nuts. A bit cheesy on the finish. Alcohol not incredibly well hidden. Not too shabby.

Sep 18, 2008 Bottled. Deep garnet body with a light khaki head. The aroma was dusty with fresh grain. There was also some old dried flowers and library books. The taste was lightly sweet kettle corn with some dusty hay notes. There was also a little bit of fall leaves. A solid and well made brew.

Aug 23, 2008 Bottle, pours a clear, copper-brown body with tan foam head. Aroma of malts, caramel, and a hint of flowers, maybe hops. Flavor is mostly malts, caramel, and sugar. There is also a tone of coffee bean or cocoa in the flavor. Smooth mouthfeel with a somewhat clean malty finish.

Aug 4, 2008 A dark, almost brown color with a heap of brownish head. Lots of toffee in the malty body with a faint fresh grain character with a little caramel. There was also an intriguingly refreshing (and light) flavor that I can’t identify, though it is somewhat reminiscent of milk chocolate. Tap @ Acadia

Aug 4, 2008 Clear, garnet-hued, smallish head, dunnish, plenty carbonated... Malt dominates the nose, flushes out rosy, fresh, fruity associations, some cherry, berry, grape...with grain below. Lovely stuff. Fills the mouth happily and spreads deliciousness. Well-rounded, malt infused, little hops, and just plain juicy. Tons of fruity flavor, not from hops, but malt and yeast. Most wine-like. Medium-bodied, with a terse grainy texture, leading into the finish, with remains malty, and ultimately dry. Urges further drinking. Very tasty ale. So similar, but superior to amber/red ales. Just the right indgedients went at work here. This is delicious. Loving it. Hope this is a hit for them! ...
