Bottled. Deep copper color, rapidly fading off-white head. medium body. Aroma of hops. Solidly malty, with kind of a Pacific NW thing going on with the hops. Kind of the standard amber/APA thing that all microbreweries seem duty-bound to produce. Not bad, but then I like this kind of thing more than some people.

On tap, this poured a dark mahogany with a thick tan head. Aroma is candyish and sweet. Flavor is nice and malty, not as sweet as the aroma but a solid caramel taste. In the finish ther is a nice hop character. Seemed like a lighter Scottish Ale.

Batch #1486, bottled 3/02/2004. Nice aroma--malty, hoppy, and I swear I smell grapes. Has a really pretty deep red color but, sadly, virtually no head at all. Feels rich and malty with good but not overdone carbonation. Flavor is mildly spicy, quite malty at first, then a good hit of hop bitterness. Overall, not bad, but still not super.

Off-white frothy head sitting atop a nice looking copper body. Good hoppy nose with a side of sweet carmel malt smell. Tastes just like it smell. A decent hop kick with a smooth carmel tasting finish. Good stuff.

Dark copper colored beer. Some hop aromas with a mix of mild caramel malt. Light tan head that lasted and clung to the glass. Good balance of malt, caramel malt and hop flavors. Has a nice slightly sweet bitter finish that leaves a mild hop flavor. A very well made and balanced ale. I met Larry at the Stoudt's microbrew fest about 7 yrs ago and he is still making very good beer!
