On tap at the North Wales Location. Poured a deep and dark amber/red color with a very small white head. Subtle and light aromas (some caramel). Lightly sweet. I had this one after their Wee Heavy & Doppelbock and this one was a let down.

Draft at Media. Reddish-copper colored with a 1-finger off-white nitro head. The aroma was of caramel malt, big tobacco, and red winey fruits. The palate was medium in body, with a great silky smoothness and flavors of caramel malt, fruit, cabernet, and some tobacco notes.

Draught sample, Wilmington DE location. Dark amber with a lasting dollop of head....nice woody, dry hoppy aroma with a touch of meaty nuts and light caramel, toasty malt....dry with a pinch of honey sweetness on the tongue, a bit sticky in the middle, toasted herbal character towards the finish....rather bland and ordinary overall, the word that sticks in my mind is "competent", which ain’t a compliment.

Poured an amber color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malts, earth, and light citrus. Taste of caramel, toffee, butterscotch, light citrus, with a dry finish.

Sorry to all the purists out there who don’t like their beers on nitro, but I love it. This was a beauty, nice deep amber color with some red hues, a very nice pillowy head that laced all the way down, not continuous, but not with rings.... a nice scene, though. The aroma was light caramel malts with some hops. The flavor did not disappoint, great balance of caramel and light bread with a touch of citrus, finishing with a nice bitterness typical of any amber ale. Very well done, full bodied mouthfeel for the style.

Nitro @ Wilmington. Light reddish amber color with a subdued malty aroma. Taste was lighter, weaker, and not very exciting. Could have been alot better, especially not on nitro

Red color, thick & creamy off-white head, veyr smooth, but very bland & somewhat tasteless, a decent session beer but nothing all that special or to write home about
