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.

Sampled at Great Lakes. This one got sort of lost in the bunch at the great lakes samplefest. Got to see the bullet holes on the tour by the by... anyway, the beer pours a nice dark amber. Spicy raisin hops and dark fruit on the palate. Moderately thorough roasted malts and some lighter dry malts thrown in. A smooth brew that I will need to redrink.

Bottle: Pours amber in color. Smells of caramel and some dark fruits. Taste was a bit nutty with caramel hints. Lightly carbonated.

An amber beer with a disappearing orange head. The aroma is sweet and very fruity combined with notes of caramel, and a touch of alcohol. The flavor has primary notes of caramel, and a dry mouthfeel that starts quite early, and leads to a bitter hoppy end.

Brownish red. Large tan head fades at a medium pace and leaves a small lacing. Malt dominated the aroma, caramel, raisin, oak. Medium to full body, lightly carbonated. Big malty flavor with very little hop presence. Low bitterness. Clean finish. I think this is the highest rated vienna, but for my money Brooklyn Lager blows this away.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear amber golden with a small, off-white head. Fat aroma of caramel and aroma hops. Very full, sweetish body with lots of caramel and malt. Dry finish. Very pleasant. 290806
