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.

A very deep orange color with a thick tan head that lasted. Very malty sweetness but balanced with the bitterness. I laughed when I read ultraspank’s comment about the hop burbs because I experienced the same thing but wasn’t sure how I could tactfully say anything about it. This is a very smooth beer that gets nicer as you drink it.

Nicely done! Reddish amber color, one finger khaki head, foaming and lasting. Somewhaqt mild aroma, but hints at a toffee like sweetness, a deep earthiness, and some green noble hop. Flavor exquisitely balanced, with a full rounded bready sweetness and a lightly spicy and floral hop character that leads to a medium bitter finish. Clean and well brewed.

Bottle. Amber in colour with a beige coloured head. The aroma was malty ( lots of bread, caramel and cookies) with some citrus. The flavour was of cookie dough, roasted nuts, caramel. Smooth mouthfeel, medium body, medium carbonation. Finishes with a medium lingering bitterness. Quite enjoyable.

Pours reddish copper with a small white head. The aroma is roasted malt with some clean caramel. It is medium bodied with a slick feel and medium/sharp carbonation. The tast is rich roasted caramel with a sharp hop bite. The taste is crisper than the description suggest. The finish is sour hoppy - the sourness seems right, not like something went wrong causing it. The finish becomes more of a clear bitterness further down the glass. Nice beer.
