Apr 30, 2008 Bottle from beeronthewall. Pours deep brown with reddish edges. Nose is caramel malt, some vinous and spicy notes. Tastes caramel malty, a bit spicy and nutty, but a bit watery of palate. Not terribly complex.

Sep 25, 2002 Did not think much of this beer either. Deep red color, medium head. Roasted malts, kind of spicy, no hoppyness, flavor a little weak. A watered down red ale. Finish is neutral.

Aug 27, 2002 I’m going to give this one the benefit of the doubt and attribute the skunkiness to improper storage by the retailer. I added 1 extra point in aroma, flavor and palate. Had a very bad skunky aroma and chemical taste that overpowered any real flavor that this beer may have had at some point. Would like to try again sometime and hope it was just a bad bottle.

Mar 27, 2009 Bottle courtesy of swalden28. I can’t believe that Indian Wells followed me out to TX, I guess they can’t sell this crap in California. Pours a brownish color with a white ring. Aroma was offensive with rotting grapes (not yet raisins), and other dark fruits that are decaying. Weird off flavor in the taste with prunes. Very watery with some fruit and not much else. Fizzy.

Jun 2, 2008 Sample at Alan’s HSC initation. Bottle from Park Lane Liquor in Lancaster, CA. This beer is a clear orange-amber color with a thin off-white head that diminishes quickly. Spotty lacing. Sweet aroma of malt and caramel. Light body with a sweet malt character and light caramel and hops flavor. The finish is sweet toasted malt with a hint of hops aftertaste. Pretty basic overall.
