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 nice, caramelly, malty beer. A slight hop character with a smooth finish. A good beer, but nothing outstanding. Was a good vienna. Good session beer.

A beautiful amber colored Vienna. The malt flavor is incredibly rich and creamy. Caramel sweet flavors with a perfect bitter finish.

355mL. Awesome. Poured a clear amber with an enormous yellow head that has awesome retention and leaves excellent lacing. Spicy rye aroma with some strawberries, All-Bran cereal, cream of wheat, caramel malt, cornbread, brown sugar....very earthy. Taste is excellent: massive hop backbone with rye toast, earthiness, buttered biscuit. A killer session beer! LIke drinking spiked brown sugar cream of wheat.

(02.06.06) 12 oz brown bottle purchased from DiCarlo’s, Mundelein, IL. ABV 6.2%. Bottle states to enjoy before 3/21/06. Clear amber ale having a small white head. 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.

Had on tap at local bar...Poured a nice light copper color. Very malty. Which I loved. Taste is almost pure sweet malt, maybe a hint of toffee or caramel. Very drinkable!
