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.

Pours amber in color (shocking huh?). Wonderful malt aroma. Fairly good mouthfeel. Good malt center with nice bitterness at the end. Great balance.

Pours a red/amber color, with a frothy off-white head. Aroma is of sweet caramel, earthy notes, and malt. Flavor is of caramel, cane sugar, dark fruit, and mild hops. The finish is nice and crisp. Very well balanced.

My 600th rating... weee! Anyways big thanks to Degarth for sending this to me in my SecretSanta box. Great reddish-mahogony colored body along with a nice creamy white head. Nice wood chip and malty aroma. Wood chip, hoppy with malt taste, nice light fruit accents. Sweet with a light spice ending.

Not sure what all the fuss is about this beer. Really nothing unusual. Well made for sure, but nothing to go crazy about. Good on a hot day.

Malty, grain, yeast, green olive and licorice. Not too much carbonation. Acidic with subtle sweet counterbalance and body is not too heavy. Even citrus. Many notes without being muddled. Not my thing but well made.

Bottle. Pours a nice rich dark amber color with a medium off white head. Very nice hop aroma. Taste of toasted malts with a hint of brown sugar. Finishes with a bit of caramel and hoppy bitterness on the after taste. A great beer from Great Lakes!

bottle. Aroma: Toasted malts, and a hint of roasted nuts. Also getting a touch of fresh grain. Appearance: Rich coppery red and clear. Head was full and off-white, but diminished quickly. Light lacing. Flavor: Lots of toasty malt with notes of citrus and grass. Also getting a little brown sugar. Bitterness was just right and melded well with the malt flavor. Palate: Medium bodied. Moderate carbonation. Finish was crisp, but could have been a little crisper. Overall: A nice, smooth, easy drinking beer with enough flavor to keep it interesting.
