Sep 5, 2007 Handpull at brewery in a pint glass: Deep amber with reddish highlights, lasting small creamy head and good lace. The aroma has notes of caramel and toffee, herbal and spicy hops, hint of apple and pear esters, some dusty yeast components as well found on the nose. The taste is mild sweet and biscuity malts over a layer of subdued ripened fruits and light bit constant noble bitterness. The mouth feel is smooth (as expected from the handpull) and soft and very drinkable. A nice dark bitter which works in cask form.

May 7, 2006 Draft @ The Livery: Hazy brown color with a light reddish tinit and tan head. The aroma was roasty with mocha notes. This actually smelled a little like an oatmeal stout. Hmm I don’t know I was told I was drinking the Ruby Red. Mild notes of dirty water. The flavor had a light roasty malt and light chocolate. Creamy mouthfeel. Didn’t really taste bad I am just confused. Well I guess we will see what the others have to say.
