Dec 7, 2009 What’s with all these irish beers? Any way, this one is pretty nice. A cloudy reddish amber, nutty, caramel and soft hoppy notes. Subtle sweetness with some rich malt character. Very fruit forward, this beer is. All the way through.

Sep 17, 2009 12oz bottle. Deep hazy amber-brown color, minimal off-white head. Mellow dark amber malt aroma. The taste is malt centered, with a decent crisp hoppiness that evens it out. Very well done, thick, malty, with quite a smooth body. Not overwhelmingly ambery nor one-dimensional. The hops and specialty malts really play off each other well, great balance. Smooth and mild caramel notes in the aftertaste. Nothing extreme about it, but a well done beer nonetheless, underrated.

Aug 15, 2009 Mohagany in color. Thin white head doesn’t last long.
Malty overall in the nose with a tea bag note in the background. Not especially impressive.
On the palate it’s all malty sweetness with a toasted bread or cracker taste that fights with the bitterness of the hops.
Rather full bodied and somewhat drinkable. Worth a try but not a beer I will seek out again.

Jun 5, 2009 (bottle). Pours a dark amber/red color. Good clarity. Small tan head. Malt aroma with light sweetness. Light sweet malt flavor. Very astringent. Avg duration. Spare lacing. Slick texture. Moderate carbonation. Astringent presence overpowers all other characteristics of the beer.
