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.

Dark amber color, decent head and lacing. Malty, sweet aroma. Sweet malt, roasted flavor with a slight bitterness towards the finish. The finish is slightly dry Re-Rate 11-07-04 I’ve been drinking this beer for a while now, and IMO it has one of the best finishes in beerdom. Slightly bitter, burnt brown sugar goodness. Excellent

Deep amber color with a small beige head. A sweet malt flavor, a dash of honey hiding within, with nutty undertones. The floral hops combine well with the sweet malt. This is one of my favorites.

Bottle: Aroma of caramel with light hops. Pours a transparent amber with a small white head. Fruit and buttery caramel up front with a well balanced a very tastey grapefruit hop finish. Very good.

Pours a more red of an amber color with a slight beige head. Real good flavor to it, can really taste sweet caramel and it’s malty, nice hop kick and actually alcohol kick to it that give it a nice bite.

Wow! Just wanted to get that out there first. Ok. 12 oz bottle, pours a lovely reddish amber color, significant head, great lacing. Aroma is caramel malt, toffee. Flavor is a strong berry taste up front, surprisingly, followed by a wash of malt and hops. Caramel aftertaste. Body is a bit thin, but not too thin. Overall, this is excellent.

12 oz. bottle. Pours amber with a medium sized frothy cream head. Aroma is caramel, malt, biscuit, and overall very inviting. Taste follows with rich malt sweetness and a surprising hop bite in the finish to keep it from being too cloying. Incredibly drinkable.
