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.

12oz bottle. A deep unfiltered amber-brown color. Malty brewery mash smell. Amber and caramel malts dominate the flavor, with a far off balanced hopping which adds some crispness. Smooth and sweet. This one is past the best by date and shows in the aroma, I certainly remember the fresher version with higher regard.

Appearance is dark brown/amber almost pruple-y, with virtually no head. Aroma is faily indistinct with some carmel and wheat malt. Flavor is carmel and wheat malt with some molasses and brown sugar and a hint of fruitiness like grapes and lemon.

12 oz from Weilands Gourmet Market. Pours dark amber with an off-white head. Nose is bread, malt, toast, caramel, and sweetness. Flavor is smooth toasted malt, caramel, sweet and fruity (plum?), with nice depth. Finish is sweetness in this medium-bodied Vienna. Outstanding.

Dark amber pour with light tan head that quickly disappears. Nose is filled with sweet malts, caramel, toast, flowery hops, grain. Very sweet and only a hint of bitterness at the finish. Moderately acidic. Moderately long finish, too. Medium to full body, watery texture and fizzy carbonation. Well put together. Very good.

12 oz. bottle from the Binnys Singles Rack (Orland Park, IL). I may have a cellar full of beers that need to be drank.. but somehow I can’t pass the Binny’s Singles Rack! Curses! Pours a beautiful sunstruck copper, dark notes, transparent, well carbonated, with moderate khaki head that subsides to a decent amount and laces. Aromas apparent straight from the pour with very nice toasty malt notes, biscuits, toffee, and bready notes without being too intimidating. Light hoppy bouquet, but malt dominant. Initial has a good body for the style, light but sustaining, having nice bready and biscuity malts balanced with a very formidible bitter noble hoppiness. Very well balanced, light, yet extremely flavorful as the malt sticks to the palate, and the hops balance and stick to the aftertaste. This is a wonderful sessioner! Cheers!

(Bottle) Pours an amber brown color with off-white head. Full malty character, with lots of caramel and some light toffee notes. Above average mouthfeel, with a relatively low level of carbonation. A nice session beer.
