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.

Pure and professional. Untouchable. Nutty and fruity. Fairly intense and difficult to describe. Sweet, but complemented with alcohol well. Overall, quite the interesting and well-made brew.

Nice amber color and slight aroma to it. Light head that doesn’t hold very well. Nice taste to it, lighter and slightly tangy. Prefer this to Bell’s

Had this one on draught at Bennigan’s in St. Charles, Illinois. Nice, dark amber pour with a medium, fluffy white head. Medium mouthfeel. Nose of light, citrusy hops and bready malts. Some milk chocolate balanced with piney hops flavor. Balanced, clean finish. Very nice.

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.

Pours a lovely amber with a nice head. Slightly hoppy, balanced with malt and a little bitterness. Excellent stuff.

Nice amber almost red color. Good head and aroma is full of caramel and other sweet smells. Very smooth tasting with caramel and nice malt flavors, would definitely recommend.

Bottle. Pours amber with a creamy head. Aroma: Sweet malty nose. Malty with just a little hop bite at the end.
