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.

A typical micro but a great brew pub if you get the chance. Amber color, creamy head. Maybe a touch of spice. Good but nothing special.

Draft. Included as part of a sampler at the brewpub in Cleveland. I remembered liking pretty much everything but do not remember specifics. Do remember that they have an excellent brewpub with excellent beer.

Bottle bought in WI. Good rust amber color. Nose - mix of pines and sweetness like caramel. Flavor - Roasted malt, sweet apples, broen sugar. Finish - Hops dryness with bitter-sweetness. Interesting!

12oz bottle. A deep unfiltered amber-brown color. Malty brewery mash smell. Amber and caramel malts dominate the flavor, with a far off balanced hopping which adds some crispness. Smooth and sweet. This one is past the best by date and shows in the aroma, I certainly remember the fresher version with higher regard.

Bottle. Pours amber with a creamy head. Aroma: Sweet malty nose. Malty with just a little hop bite at the end.

Bottle thanks to ilovedarkbeer. Pours with a large, foamy, off-white head and a clear copper body underneath. Good lacing and retention. Aroma of honey, caramel and honey comb cereal with a hint of hop. Taste is cereal, huskiness and caramel. Lively bubbles and a dry mouthfeel.

Not a real fan of ambers but this is very good. Nice head and lace. Finishes clean and dry. Recommend to anyone just starting to try something other than the usual.
