Apr 17, 2009 12 oz bottle from hellbilly. Great extra! Pours a murky rusty pour, dark, with a tannish moderate head that laces some. A pretty impressive pour. Aromas are a little lighter than expected, pushing some carmel malts and floral hop nose. Ok, I guess. Initial preaches some nice citrusy lemon and grapefruit hop, light florals, and carmel malts to balance (but not enough). Mellow, with good hopping. I don’t like amber style beers, but this is sessionable and flavorful, with out overbearing carmel malts. Lingering citrusy finish with light sweetness. Good sessioner. Cheers!

Apr 14, 2009 Dark amber pour with a beige head. Pine vanilla and cherry or dark fruit aroma. Smooth creamy sweet then bitter. Very balanced and excellent bold taste for an amber.

Apr 12, 2009 Tap at Sacramento Brewing Co. Robust hop nose. Taste is very bitter with roast but no malt sweetness to balance it out. Bitterness lingers long on the palate.

Apr 10, 2009 Bottle. Pour is a deep red-brown with an extremely thin tan head. Aroma is basically caramel w/ a slight hint of grass. Tastes of caramel and toast with some slight dark fruit. Mouthfeel is relatively weighted with a dry, bitter finish.

Apr 5, 2009 Sampled at the Impromptu Butter’s 6th cellar clearance. Near clear dark orange with reddish highlights and thin wispy near white head. Nicely hopped nose with hints of caramel malt come through prevalently in the flavor. Toasty and almost a burnt quality. Lingering bitterness is exactly what I look for in a session beer.
