Its sad this brewery is no more..saw this beer at the cheapo grocery outlet.$2.99 a sixer..thought I would give it a go. Very very attractive looking beer when poured from the brown 12 oz bottle deep red almost garnet colour when held to the light..nice creamy off white head. Desp[ute sitting for at least a month on the floor , unrefridergated of some forlorn grocery store the aroma was very nice mostly malts but no off smells. The tatse also is very nice..fruity and malty..with a semi-dry finish. Very nice feeling in the mouth. A most drinkable Amber..its sad this brewery is defunct..if this is anything to go by they made pretty good beer.

There's actually a story to this beer when I drank it. Every single sip I took foamed up like a M.F'er. My cheeks almost blew out every time! We had to pour it into a glass over a period of 10 minutes to just to fit it all in due to the head on it. Once we got that stabalized and I was actually able to drink it, the damn thing wound up being surprisingly good. I don't know what the hell the deal was with the constant foaming but I was fairly disgruntled with the fact I almost had to work to drink this. Typical amber without the "turned-up volume". One and a half thumbs up and a foot-long in the bun.........Kobe-style.

Pours a deep reddish color. Nice head. I wasn't expecting much of this beer but it's actually pretty good. Some fruit in the taste perhaps?? Some malt in the aroma. Definitely worth a try!

sweet and somewhat fruity. no head. decent, but nothing spectacular about this brew.

Very unique beer. Smells of toffee, swiss cheese, and buttery popcorn. Good to smell but not to taste. Burgundy brownish color with little head.

Poured a dark reddish-brown color wit a very small head that is frothy around the edge of my glass. The aromas are of toffee and buttered popcorn. Very strange tastes...sweet but again, like buttered popcorn with a little bitter finish. An unusual beer.

Great malty, bready, tea aroma. Dark amber color, almost like a brown ale. Full flavor...malty sweetness throughout.
