Sep 12, 2009 Growler filled and consumed the same day. Pours a mostly clear transparent brown with a moderate off-white head that lasted through the first quarter of the glass and left very little lace. Mild aroma of malt and roasted nuts. The flavor is a bit more pronounced than the aroma with malt and some honey sweetness which holds on through the finish. No problems here.

Aug 31, 2009 Pours brownish red with a tan head. Smells of sweet malt, some floral hints, caramel. Tastes of caramel and sweet with some rosey hints on the finish.

Aug 26, 2009 Deep amber beer. The nose is quite nutty and sweet with a fairly prominent crystal malt character. Fairly chewy but not underattenuated. Sweet and simple. It’s fairly typical for the style, but it’s well-made.

Aug 12, 2009 I tried this beer on tap at Stony Brook Beverage from their Growler Bar and think I have found my new favorite. The honey warms the pallet on the way down and the overall impression is fantastic. I only can hope it never gets compared to Killians, because that would be an injustice to such a fine beer as this one!

Mar 15, 2009 Growler fill from Big Z - lightly hazy, reddish copper ale - very fine carbonation that fails to kick up a head (just a ring of fizz around the edges) - somewhat estery aroma, with medium sweet caramel, toffee, roasted nuts, and a toasted maltiness - low carbonation, medium body - the flavor starts out with sweet toffee and caramel, followed by some fruity esters - a tangy character that borders on acidity develops through the middle, as does a mild bitterness - nutty finish, with some lingering smooth maltiness - decent and quite sessionable, but probably not something I would buy again.
