Chestnut color with hues of garnet. Beige smallish head. Spicy hops and moderate malt nose. Roasted and caramel malts with a acidic hop bite. Some light fruits mid quaff. Light feel.

Really old bottle from Liquid Solutions. Used to drink this years ago. Bet it has stayed well. Pours clear, dark, ruddy copper with a decent foamy tan head. Aroma is of really dark fruits. It has changed. Medium body with very mild carbonation. Flavor is chalky, bitter evergreen, muddy malt. Turns up a chocolate note. Love drinking this old stuff. I think this is 8 years in the bottle. Held up well. Especially for 6.5. They should revisit the recipe and revamp it into IS. This will never get there, but it has taken the first step.

Hazy brown hue with small head and some lacing. Very sweet and fruity nose with smoke and spicy undertones. Taste was not a spicy as expected, more along with the sweet smoky flavor, some bitter bite on the finish. Dry feel yet, strangely syrupy and soft on the palate. medium to full-bodied. Alcohol well hid. A very muddled beer, something just doesn't work right. May try it again this winter to see if it improves.

Dark brown color, medium head. Roasted malts, mildly hopped, some spice? Slightly bitter with some sweetness. Finish is clean. Aftertaste is somewhat bitter, and slightly fruity sweet

This brew poured a small head of finely sized off-white mostly disappearing bubbles that left behind a fair lacing and a uncarbonated hazy brown colored body. The aroma is a mild malt hop mix with few little roasted notes thrown in for variety. The mouthfeel is motth with a mild tingly to it and a noticeable mild alcohol finish. The flavor is of roasted malts and mildly hopped with some spiceyness thrown in for good measure.

Pours the color of mud. Heavy malt and caramel aroma. Rich malt in the taste with a bit of sweetness and almost a pinch of salt. Simple, but kinda tasty!

A beer that poured a very small sized tan head that contained fine-small sized bubbles that quickly dissipated.The body was hazy and carbonated with a brown hue.The nose consisted of malt, fruit, and possibly some spice.It had a slightly bitter flavor and some alcohol was noted as well.The mouthfeel of this beer was smooth, tingly and medium bodied.This beer had very little lacing.

A chestnut-colored ale that goes down warmly. A slight sourness, and yet also a sweetness, and a fair amount of hops. I was expecting a little more flavor, but viewing from the other ratings, not everyone’s been impressed. This is the first brew from MacTarnahans Brewing that I wasn’t wild about.
