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.

Service in a pilsner style glass. Nice amber colour with a nice tan head that left little lace. Smell was fairly empty with a minimal aroma that was slightly sweet and nutty. Taste exceeded the smell. Very Nutty malted taste which was pleasant and not overpowering and meshed well with the other undertones of toffee. Nice mouthfeel that had a nice balance of carbonation. overall an enjoyable and drinkable beer that i would be delighted to have again.

Amber with big, creamy tan head / Light sweet malt nose / Medium, creamy body with lively spritz and fine, sweet finish / Flavors of malt and caramel with cotton-candy, burnt sugar finish, and balanced by surprisingly assertive hops / A superb example of this style.

Clear amber brown with tan head. Aroma has a hint on cinnamon spice and even malt? Taste has that same spice flavoring with hint of hops for a dry finish. For style this is a great beer.

Attractive copper pour that produces a huge, tight, long lasting creamy head. Clean malt aroma. Light sweetness with a touch of hop bitterness that leads to a dryness in the finish. I could drink a few of these.
