Feb 14, 2006 A beer that is much better drank cold. Started out with rich malts backup by strong german earthy hop pressence, very smooth, lots of caramel and cookie flavors... as it warmed it lost pretty much all hops and was overcome by almond and cookie flavors. Not bad warm at all but not as strong.

No discernable carbonation. Caramel/sweet malt aromas. Medium bodied that starts with light malt sweetness and fruity/caramel flavors. Finishes dry with light hop bitterness. Well-balanced. A very enjoyable amber ale.

Feb 9, 2006 Malty, sweet Ruby brew. Actually easier drinking than I was expecting, but more of a plus for this one. I really am not too much of a fan of the style, but this one is great, can’t wait to have again!

Feb 7, 2006 Bottle. Nice deep clear amber on the pour. Very nice head. Scents of fruit and malt. Some bitterness on the palate, but also peach and apples and some sweetness. Very smooth and balanced. Thanks Beervana.

Feb 6, 2006 12 oz bottle: Medium copper w/ a lasting off white head. Heavy toasty malt aroma w/ some light caramel and the faintest hint of roast; clean! Well balanced, clean toasty malt flavor w/ a hint of caramel. Malt dominated flavor into the finish which is semi dry; aftertaste is a bit of bitterness, but again, clean. Fuller light body, medium carb., smooth. A good solid beer from GLBC. Flavorful enough to keep your attention and want more!
