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.

Thanks again to doulos for this one. Poured a deep orange color with a very small head and just about no lacing. The aroma was bready, sweet malts. Typical for the style, but weak. The flavor followed on this theme and also had a light spicing to it. Mouthfeel was thick and approached almost that of a maibock.

Roasty smell, pours to a beautiful carmel color. Complex taste of roasted grains, with a nice, hoppy finish. Probably the best amber I’ve had.

#4 fro COTF 5/06. 12 oz bottle. Small head sits on an amber body. Taste is light and smooth with just the faintest amount of sweet malt. Maybe Im missing something but Im not getting hardly anything else excelpt maybe some biscuit.

Pour is nice ruddy amber with a dense 1/4 inch tan head...smell is sweet and grainy with nice caramel and molasses notes...taste is nice and sweet thourhgout, but not overly so...more of a subtle roasty malt flavor...nice lush mouthfeel...who knew a vienna could be so tasty?

Clear, cherrywood red-brown. Nice malty aroma. Sweet and woody, mildly astringent. Goes a bit milky towards the finish. Fruit, mild sourness. Biscuits and trace cocoa. Surprisingly complex - a bit of an ABV sting here and there. Smooth and tangy finish, medium body.

On tap at the brewery. Great reddish color. A little hop aroma but mostly malt. Sweet malty flavor with a very slight bitter bite. Great example of a vienna lager. Great summer beer with a nice dry finish.
