Commercial Description:
Deep Amber red color, with a fragrant malt aroma. Flavorful notes of rich caramelized malt and noble hop flavors harmonize on the palate leading to a crisp clean finish. Named after one of Cleveland's most respected safety directors, who frequented the brewpub's bar during his tenure from 1935-1941 and, according to popular legend, was responsible for the bullet holes still evident today.

Nice amber almost red color. Good head and aroma is full of caramel and other sweet smells. Very smooth tasting with caramel and nice malt flavors, would definitely recommend.

Sampled at 2009 Pittsburgh Brufest. Poured a nice amber color with a frothy white head that left some lacing. Basic malty aroma. Good flavors of caramel malt, wheat, and some fruit. Not usually a big fan of this style but this was definitely good.

(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Wallingatan, Stockholm) Amber colour with brief, frothy, beige head. Malty, slightly fruity nose with caramel, toasted grain, apricots and orange peel. Malty taste with notes of toasty grain, caramel, a touch of orange and apricots. Turning into a bready finish with a mild, spicy bitterness and a touch of sweetness. Well balanced and tasty beer.

This has a rich, malty aroma and a nice ruby amber color. The flavor is smooth and quite tasty for a lager, with a whopping 6.2% to boot. This is one of the best lager’s I’ve ever tasted.

12oz bottle. great copper/amber color. just right 2-finger head, maybe a touch of fruit in the nose? Sweet, caramel malt flavor with an immediate, but light bitterness that sticks through the finish. A bit of toasted bread? Very good.

355mL. Awesome. Poured a clear amber with an enormous yellow head that has awesome retention and leaves excellent lacing. Spicy rye aroma with some strawberries, All-Bran cereal, cream of wheat, caramel malt, cornbread, brown sugar....very earthy. Taste is excellent: massive hop backbone with rye toast, earthiness, buttered biscuit. A killer session beer! LIke drinking spiked brown sugar cream of wheat.
