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.

Glowing copper color with a tight head. Malty caramel aroma with mild pit fruit spiciness. Smooth medium body. Taste is malt driven caramel/toffee sweetness with some nice fruity floral flavors. Draft@ Lakes CLE airport.

12 oz bottle. Poured a deep ruby red color with a small off-white head. Aroma was very sweet malt. Taste was malty with an aftertaste that was a little off.

Pours brown in color with ruby brown highlights around the edges. Nice frothy inch of head forms on the pour. Smell is all malt and some sweetness. Very metallic/off flavor in the taste. Gets a bit cloying as well. First beer I’ve had from Great Lakes that has been subpar.

Bottle shared by aspidites, attractive clear, bright yet dark amber pour, but the rest was downhil. Very vegital in the nose, and it carried into the flavor.

(Sampled 7-14-08 at Brownings Brewery) Dark amber in color, tan head that laced. Faint aroma of malt. Hits the mouth with a medium body, malt comes in nicely, a turpentine bitterness appears in the middle and lasts well after the finish. Old keg? Up for a rerate down the line...

Cleveland, Oh - Progressive Field - Indians/Twins game - 12 oz bottle. Medium copper pour, thick khaki colored head, nice lace. Hint of chocolate in the aroma. Sweet flavor with hints of caramel, toffee and some cotton candy. Thickish mouthfeel. Pretty solid.
