Sep 9, 2009 bottle: I like the name/ concept of the beer, right off the bat.Pours cloudy brownish red. The head is thin, but I think it’s just the glass I’m using - I never get a good head out of it. Arouma of toffee and caramel. Taste is big malty, citrusy, but easy hops. smooth and chewy mouthfeel. I can taste the alcohol, which is strange for such an abv. A good brew.

Sep 8, 2009 Thanks to Ditmeir for the bottle. Dark caramel brown pour with a thick off white head. big caramel malt aroma. Nice chewy caramel malt toffee body and an earthy hop bitterness. Flavorful and sessionable beer.

Sep 7, 2009 12oz bottle. Dark red with a lasting beige head. The aroma is light tea and spicy, lightly resiny hops. The flavor has a medium crystal malt sweetness that is overrun by lots of sharply bitter hops and some resiny hop flavor. Medium bodied with nice, middle-of-the-road carbonation; almost a little chewy. Hop bitterness seems to dominate here, without much great in the way of malt of hop flavor really. Seems more like a west-coast red ale somewhat similar to arrogant bastard actually, though not as malty. It’s not really bad, but I can’t say that I’m a fan.

Aug 25, 2009 Pours deep copper / bronze with a rocky tan head. The aroma has sweet toasted malt along with light paper and a touch of spice. It has a medium body that’s a bit slick with average carbonation. The flavor starts off with the aroma traits along with some oxidation. The bottle was brought in not too long ago, but already showing age. the finish is on the earthy side with both teh hops and malt. An okay ESB.

Aug 22, 2009 Pours dark brown with a dark tan head as well. Very rich malty flavor and full-bodied. Reminds me of a brown ale or bitter.
