May 3, 2008 Beer of the Month Selection: Poured from the bottle at cellar temperature into a pint glass. Pour produced an amber-red body, topped by a rocky, full head of white foam. Aroma is malty with hints of caramel, pepper, and molasses, with some hops notes. Medium-bodied mouthfeel, with some stickiness on the lips and an initial bitterness on the tongue. The palate matches the aroma with a lingering bitterness. Not as full-bodied as the description would lead you to believe, though overall it isn’t that bad.

May 2, 2008 Poured a deep amber color with a thick slightly off-white head that had very little retention. A nice balance in the aroma between bitter hops and sweet caramel like malts. Flavor was similar to the aroma but seemed a little thin but still enjoyable to drink.

May 1, 2008 BOM. Poured this right before game 4 Rangers/Pens. Pretty looking deep amber color with a off white diminshing head. Nose of malt, hops and caramel. Smells a bit like a slightly less potent SNPA. Flavor of malt with a hop backround. Body is a bit thin and flavor lacks a bit. Decent brew but nothing great.

May 1, 2008 Updated: Jul 30, 2008Nice and smooth. Little sweet upfront with a good balancing bitterness afterwards. Tastes pretty much how it smells.

Apr 27, 2008 Dark amber color......almost opaque. Fluffy head, though it fades a little quick. Heavy malt aroma with a few sweet and spicy notes. Sweet malt flavor up front, with a subtle caramel flavor. Fairly smooth mouthfeel......slightly bitter back.

Apr 26, 2008 Slightly hazy red with little head or apparent carbonation. Simple caramel aroma with an earthy undertone. Caramel sweet with tangy notes and a hint of cocoa. Mild hop flavor. Willamette? Low bitterness.

Apr 26, 2008 Probably my favorite amber ale. Pours deep red with a small but thick head. Very sweet aroma, I was very surprised by it. Flavor is sweet, balanced out nicely by malts with a hoppy floral finish.

Apr 25, 2008 Pour is a dark red with a small white head. Aroma is of sweet caramel malts with a touch of hops. Flavor is almost the same. Lots of sweet malt with an citrus aftertaste from the hops. This wants to be an American strong ale really bad but i does not quite make it. Still this is an ok ale to drink on a rainy night.
