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.

Obtained via trade with Beeryum. Pours somewhat cloudy reddish brown with a medium beige head. Aroma of caramel, apple and slight roastiness. Flavor has notes of toasted malt, caramel, pear, dark fruit and noble hops. Pleasantly sweet, plenty of bitterness in there for great balance. Very full, round and creamy on the palate with lively carbonation. Very good.

Pours a dark amber color with a thin white head. Aroma is malty and fruity. Flavor is similar to the aroma with a slightly hoppy finish. A good, smooth brew

On Tap @ Great Lakes Brewhouse

Poured dark amber, with a white head. Nice lacing on the glass. Aroma sweet, malty, and fruity. Flavor had a mild sweetness and a mild bitterness that mixed well. Caramel notes also present, nice complex brew, flavors really mixed well. Very smooth and easy to drink. I’ve never had a vienna before.

pours an amber color with a medium white head. the aroma is light with some fruits, malts, and hops. Tastes similar to the aroma with some bitterness from the hops, but not too much. A good brew.

Very good beer. Paired this with a medium rare flatiron steak at the brewpub and was an excellent match.
