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.

Orange-copper pour with a thin straw colored lace and little head. Big earthy biscuit malt aroma with a hint of molasses, honey, cinnamon, and some ale yeast fruitiness that I can’t quite place. Lots and lots of chewy bread, dough, biscuit, and caramel malt flavors with some fresh fruit and spicy hops on the finish. Solid medium body with plentiful carbonation and a crisp finish. A very tasty and complex, almost ale like lager.

Bottle. Pours an amber body, sweet and malty. Light hoppiness, caramel malt bready with a touch of nuttyness. A solid lager!

12oz bottle served in a lager glass. Beautiful sunset amber body topped by nearly two inches of lasting off-white head. The nose is very balanced with some nice malt sweetness and spicy hops struggling for dominance. Flavors of bread, toffee, nuts, and grass. Hops win the battle at the finish though not by much. Superb balance throughout. An excellent, well crafted lager.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear, beautiful amber-red with a frothy beige head that lasts throughout and leaves good lacing. The aroma is sweet malt. Flavor is sweet malty goodness with a hint of caramel. Nice hop balance. Light to medium body. Finish is short and sweet.

12oz bottle. Pours a dark amber, almost red with a 2 inch head. Sweet and roasty aroma. Flavor is sweet caramel with subtle hops on the finish. Not my favorite style, but very well put together.

Bottle@Home. Fruity, herbal aroma with a hint of rust. Amber color, beige head, good lace. Very sweet, malty, light bitter, fruity, hint of cookies. Quite full, almost syrupy. Well balanced.

Amber pour with gooey head and lace. Aroma of roasted malt. A maltiness balanced by a decent medium bitter. Medum bodied with good carbonation. A pretty special beer overall.
