Apr 7, 2008 Bottle from discount liquors in Milwaukee. Dark red rust color that is some what cloudy with a medium biege head. Aroma is dry malt, yeast and dirty noble hops. Spicy hops over grainy dark malt, slight banana and orange, some yeast. Medium creamy body. Not bad for an amber but not my favorite style.

Apr 1, 2008 Big malty taste: bran muffins, bread, and oatmeal. Rich, roasted notes, but not really a dark beer taste. A little fruit in the middle: apples and grapes. Pepper and more malt in the finish. Slight musty alcohol aftertaste. Hops seems absent, I can’t find them anywhere.

Mar 30, 2008 Beer pours a beautiful copper red color with a small head that fades somewhat fast and leaves a very nice lacing along the edge. Aroma is very malty with a slight fruity scent to it as well. Very good malty taste surrounds the mouth with a very late fruity taste followed by a good dryness on the tongue. Very good mouth feel. After every sip noticed a good upwelling of carbonation in my glass. This beer overall is a very good beer and is something I will definitely pick up to enjoy all over again.

Mar 26, 2008 Updated: Apr 23, 2008Malt heavy Irish dark red ale -- this instantly won me over with the thoughtful fruity notes hitting me like a trumpet. As a hop head I’m still wondering how in world this got me oohing and ahhing but I guess they didn’t slack off on the hops. This is clean refreshing session like enjoyment. Really underated.

Mar 25, 2008 12 oz bottle via Mys Swap 3.0 (thanks monger!). This one pours out a clear copper with a large beige head. The aroma is just some nice basic pale malt and a clean yeast. Taste is quite nutty, toasty, and earthy with a bit of astringency in the finish, that carries through with a little chocolate and some vegetables (dms?) into the somewhat metallic aftertaste....Body is light/medium, carbonation is moderate/high. Not too crazy about the NG beers i have sampled recently...
