Jun 19, 2004 Bottle - Pours a dusty brown in color with a sparse whitish head that did not stick around. No lacing to speak of. Aroma was very weak, but some malt and a tiny bit of hops. Flavor was also nondescript and quite watery. Some bitterness in the finish. The bottle that I had was fairly old, so perhaps that explains why I am not nearly as impressed with this beer as some of the other reviewers... guess I will have to try it again sometime.

Feb 26, 2004 Pours a nice ruby brown, with the usual McNeill's rocky head. Nutty, sweet nose. Sweet nutty palate, toffee, slight roasted grain, minerals, faint metallic, hint of smoke, light bodied, finishing with a citrus (grapefruit) like hoppiness. Definately better with warmth, another nice session brown from Ray and the gang.
