Cask Stillage from the Jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 26/09/2009 Big malt aroma. Bronze coloured rich on the palate strong in alcohol and malty with a little dryness in a crisp and bitter finish.

12oz bottle. Brown amber color. Minimally carbonated, with a sweet doughy aroma. Some mild hop crispness, but overall the creamy maltiness dominates. Medium bodied and drinkable, but a little plain in my opinion. Caramel and amber malt shines through. A good beer, just not my favorite style.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a pint glass. Appearance: It has a deep dark amber colored body with good clarity. The head is small and fades out quickly leaving no lacing behind. Smell: The aroma is light with some light hints of sweet caramel malts. Taste/Mouth feel: The overall flavor has a mild sweet malty character with a touch of caramel and some light spicy/leafy hops for balance. The hops come in more towards the finish of this medium bodied brew. The mouth feel is well rounded, smooth with a light balance of carbonation. Notes: Overall this is a nice average beer.

Clear copper appearance with a large, off white head and very good lacing. Muted aroma, mostly caramel malts. Gently hopped, toasted malt taste with a fairly short lived. Medium bodied and moderately carbonated mouthfeel that is smooth and easy to drink. Almost marzenesque.

This was my favorite of the sampler pack I had. It was dry like it promised and had a little bit of charatcher to it. It was the first to go down the hatch. Very nice easy drinking beer.

Had it on tap at upick6 in Erie P.A. I was surprised with the malty taste and mouth feel, almost like an American Brown, but was a good beer none the less. Some sweetness and a light nutty/hoppy finish, not quite a typical Irish, but drinking this I will go pick up a sixer of backdraft brown for sure.

another decent brew from hook and ladder. sweet malt, caramel, with a hint of hops in the after taste. A fine start to the Irish season.
