Decent amber pour with minimal head and lacing. This is a sweet, prune-y ale with a noticeable spice and hops presence. Good beer but not sessionable.

Jun 18, 2008 12oz bottle(courtesy of RSRIZZO)-Pours a nice amber body with a big off white head and an aroma of roasted malt, raisin, and coffee. Taste of this full bodied brew is of malt, caramel, nut, and has a dry finish. Not the worst brew I’ve had but it meets all Flying Dog expectations.

Jun 14, 2008 12 oz bottle-pours a rich tan head and amber/red color. Aroma is medium malt-some sweetness, secondary earthy hops. Taste is medium malt-some sweetness, quickly overtaken by secondary earthy/sharp/metallic hops. Some peat comes through, dry. Not quite my style.

Jun 9, 2008 Pours a beautiful clear orange-red with a small light-tan head. Smells clean and faint malt. Tastes nutty, and slightly vegetal with a distinct cherry flavor. Body is medium-full. Nice change of pace but i’d take a mad elf over this any day.

Jun 4, 2008 Bottle. Aroma of mostly pale malt, with a touch of caramel and stronger straw/hay notes. Slightly nutty with a touch of yeasty funk. Pale chestnut pour with a toapy tan head. Crisp start, taste is nutty with chocolate and cherries, but all very restrained, toast and "English" yeast around the edges. Dry, slightly toffee aftertaste, and a touch of alcohol coming through. Medium-full body. Some smoky accents. Fruitiness is plain and remains separate from the mix. Musty hops. Closer to an English brown ale, methinks, and a decent, very drinkable (straightforward) offering.
