Deep reddish-brown with a light tan head with nice lacing as it collapses slowly. Candy apple aroma, caramel, very malty with hints of artificial/medicinal grape or cherry flavors. Nice smooth feel with malts that hint again at the medicinal cherry flavor. A finish of light hops and a slight steely metallic presence.

Deep copper, almost brown, thick rocky head and foamy lacing. Bitter and hoppy, low fruit notes, alcoholic finish, not bad.

Pours a clear reddish amber with fair lacing and wispy tan head. Roasty and malty nose. A little mettalic penny in the flavor, but I attribute this to the bottle being a little old perhaps?

Bottle from Liquor Depot. Probably the most interesting amber I have ever had as it smells and tastes like a barleywine. Same tart hops, same nasty fruit undertone. I pegged it at 6 or 6.5% so that is also surprising. Not for everyone, but a very interesting specemin.
