Big thanks to Jay for sharing this. Pours medium brown with a medium tan head. Very malty arom wioth notes of butter, whisky, and nuts. Fairly smooth through the finish. This is a fairly feesh bottle, and has none of the sourness recent ratings have noted. This was a solid Old Ale.

Aug 20, 2008 Bottle: Poured a deep copper color ale with a huge foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma consists of huge caramel malt with some nice notes of toffee and subtle dry fruits also noticeable. Taste is a mix between again some huge caramel malt with some very interesting notes of toffee and dry fruits. Medium sweetness is well balance with a full body, some great carbonation and no apparent alcohol. I hard heard that chances were that Mcneill’s bottles could be infected but I have to admit that this one was quite good.

Aug 12, 2008 Well mine was not infected, I bought a bottle from a Stowe, VT liquor store. This one pours an amberish/brown color with very little head. I think my bottle was a tad flat. Aroma is malty and sweet smelling. Flavor is malty and a bit warm. Good? I guess.

Aug 11, 2008 Thanks to jjpm74 for this beer. Pours a dirty brown with small head. Sweet malty nose wth touch of sour and tartness. Flavor is certainly sour and probably a bit oxidized...but still and interesting beer with a different malt character. Not great, but certainly different. Thanks!

Jun 9, 2008 bottle from jjpm74. nice ruby pour with a thick head that dissipates pretty quickly. very sweet malt smell. the flavor is very tart and it lingers on quite a while. kind of like i was drinking strawberry jelly.
