Jul 25, 2009 I think I had this in a bar at SEATAC. Cloudy, dark, deep amber. Kind of yeasty, malty, chewy. Hints of toffee, caramel and cocoa. Faint honey. Hops a little pine nip, but I wouldn’t call it a hoppy beer. Had a cask-like quality. Nice session beer.

Jul 24, 2009 Pours a hazy red amber with decent white head. Excelent lacing. Lugt aroma of sweet malt. Medium body with a great malty sweetness. Nice finish as well.

Jul 23, 2009 Growler… Cloudy caramel-colored ale with a small, fat-bubbled, white head. Funky, leathery, earthy aroma – a bit acidic. Medium-bodied with a milky mouthfeel and gentle carbonation. The flavor is tangy and sweet; odd, but tasty. Finishes lightly sweet and a touch funky. Kudos to mcbackus for providing the growler!

Jul 19, 2009 Growler, courtesy mcbackus. Pours a cloudy, rusty amber color with a small, bubbly, off-white head. No lacing. The aroma is quite funky for an amber, notes of cocoa and red, fruity berries accompanying the requisite cara-toffee sweetness, with a little floral hoppiness in there as well. The flavor follows suit, lightly sweet and toasty, with nice toffee notes, leafy green and floral hops, and a nutty cocoa finish. Strange, but appealing. The palate has clearly diminished in the growler a bit, but it’s still substantial enough and silky. Good stuff.

Jul 19, 2009 Smells like fermented Zebra dung that has been baking in the Kenyan sun for three days. Flavor is a little watery at first and bold in the finish. Lots of dark grains, like a hearty wheat bread. Weird.

Jul 19, 2009 Local brew, had on Draft. Cloudy amber color. Decent flavor, not too strong. good beer with dinner.

Jul 13, 2009 Growler shared at Diego’s tasting. Pours a nice amber color. This is a helluva amber. Aromas of caramel, hops, and some sweet citrus notes. Flavor is unreal. Best amber I have ever had. Tons of caramel and seemed like a hint of chocolate. Rich and full, just delicious. I wish I could drink this all the time. BOTTLE IT!

Jul 5, 2009 The ubiquitous Washington beer, not available in bottles. Could my love for it come from nostalgia? Perhaps, but it is still my favorite amber by far. Aroma of sweet caramel and a hint of peppery spice. Tastes first of caramel and nuts, and then adds in a bit of a peppery bite at the end.
