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.

Bottle. Thanks to jeffc666 for this! Lovely copper body underneath a foamy tan head. Nose is caramel, sweet malts, light hoppiness, and light toffee. Very nice! Taste is nutty and hoppy with some earthy notes, light caramel and sweet malts. Body is medium with lots of carbonation feel to it. Finish is very nutty and malty. Light caramel, hoppy earthy notes, and almost a wood-like finish. Nice!

Lots of sweetcaramel malt go along with some floaral hops from this rich copper coloured beer. Nice malty toffee flavours with a good medium mouthfeel and lingering finish. Solid.

As respectable as a lager gets, and that’s finally saying a lot. Take this one seriously, beer lovers. I don’t think I have any descriptive notes to add over and above the others.

Dark amber with a small off white head...wonderful sweet malty, carmel, and toffee aroma. Smooth and sweet body of malt and carmel....very drinkable and well balanced, not overtly sweet. Great everyday brew.

Cloudy amber with tight cream head that fades quickly. Sweet malt aroma. Taste falls flat - old bottle. Need to re-rate.
