Feb 20, 2009 Nice malty aroma with hints of butter toffee and caramel, along with some roasted malt. Flavor was surprisingly chocolate, more like rich milk chocolate than dark. Some hop in the finish, spicy herbal. Mouthfeel was smooth and creamy. A surprisingly good amber ale.

Feb 16, 2009 Bottle: Pours a deep ruby/amber with a light tan ring of head. Simple sweet aroma with apparent crystal malt and some caramelized character. Moderate carbonation. Simple flavor- again lots of crystal malt and caramelized sweetness. Perhaps a touch chocolaty as it warms. Moderate toasted barley huskiness. Not much hop character/bitterness. No big off flavors, just very unexciting.

Feb 7, 2009 (bottle - 12 oz) Ruby pour with a creamy white head. Good carbonation. Aroma is light and rather malty with a subtle earth and hop note. Flavor is dark and earthy at the beginning mixing with some sweet malts and a very light touch of hops. Some caramel and dark malts at the end. Very well balanced.

Feb 4, 2009 Updated: Feb 5, 2009Bottle, it is a nice looking beer. Dark and ruby red with a white head. Slight sweet malt aroma reminiscent of a barley wine. Slightly sweet dark fruit and caramel taste with a slight hop bite. Quaffable. This is very well balanced and has a nice mouth feel. One of the better reds I have had and one of my favorite from Ft. Collins Brewery. I am surprised with the low rating.

Jan 5, 2009 2008-11-12. Dark amber-brown body with a modest beige head. (3+) Dry malt, touch of oatmeal-raisin cookie grains. Similar flavour, dry tangy malt, dry fruit, touch of oxidation possibly. Average palate. Meh. <i>Bottle shared by DuctTape</i>
