| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 17, 2004 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. OldGrowth (1432), North Carolina, USA

Bottled 10/29/03 batch#1444, a bit old, but what the heck. have to check out fresh next season. desurfer (1068), Pinellas Park, Florida, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 2, 2004 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. sfontain (506), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 29, 2004 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. haddon90 (1036), Alexandria, Virginia, USA

Overall pretty decent. Bought this 12 oz bottle at Beers of the World in Rochester, NY. axilla (962), New Providence, Pennsylvania, USA

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. Rockinout (946), Kent, Ohio, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 2, 2004 2003 bottle. Mild aroma of caramel, gets somewhat sweet with a fruity finish. warrior (213), Mt. Wolf, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 29, 2004 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!
