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.

Ruby pour with a creamy head.Sweet malty nose. Nice creamy palate that is very light on the tongue. Malt seems to be the name of the game with just a little hop bite at the end. Very nice beer. Thanks to hopsrus for this one.

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.

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

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.

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.
