This beer is great, both in the bottle and tap. Definitely the best American made beer around. Its similar to Murphy’s, which is a little better, but harder to find in the U.S.

From bottle. Nice slightly off-white head that remained for some time; rim of head remained for an hour with decent lacing. While not a complex beer by any standards, the heavy malt combined with notes of caramel add to a rather full and drinkable beer. Better quality for the price than would be expected, especially if you’re looking for something malty. Overall, a decent beer that can even be a good beer if you’re mood allows, though lacking in complexity to score any higher.

Bottle from local supermarket. Pours red with a light head. Head dissipated quickly. Very little aroma. Initial impression has a very woody taste. Follows light and easy to drink. Slightly bitter finish. Overall, it’s an OK beer, but nothing great and nothing I ever want to drink a lot of. The initial hit of the woody flavor and awkward bitterness turns me off every time.

Pours a reddish amber color with a decent head. Not a bad beer, but not a great one either. Had it in the bottle and on tap, not much difference between the two. I’d still drink it over a Bud or Miller.

Bottle from TGIF’s in Vacaville, CA. Poured an amber color with little to no head. Tasted of carmel flavor with a little bit of spice. Easy on the palate and very drinkable. One of the better macrobrews.

Reddish amber color with a thin tan head. This had a sweet caramel taste with some nutty flavor in the background. Very drinkable beer.
