ucusty (1871), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA Oct 24, 2009 Clear amber pour with a fizzy off white head. Toffee, bread, and caramel on the nose. Caramel and toasted malts. Dry finish hopscotch (5440), Vero Beach, Florida, USA Oct 5, 2009 Bottle… Clear amber ale with a mid-sized, creamy, off-white head. Great retention. The nose wafts sweet notes of cookie, English biscuit and praline. Medium-bodied with stinging carbonation. The flavor is sweet, nutty and toasted. Crisp, lightly bitter, dry finish. beerbill (1919), Laurel, New York, USA Aug 1, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours a mostly clear amber with a large, fluffy off-white head that dissipates somewhat unevenly. Light aroma of caramel and that’s about it. The flavor is caramel and lightly roasted malt. Light sweetness. Medium bitterness at the finish. No problems here. coldbrewky (716), Saugerties, New York, USA Jul 30, 2009 Bottle via the "Beer Gnome" at work. My humble thanks. Pours on the brown side of amber with a thin oily tannish head. Light nose of caramel and whispy pine. Body is on the heavy side of light. Similar caramel tones from nose exist in this overly sweet brew. Some funky charcoalish tang at edges throws the whole train off the track. On the up side, this beer provided the entire visual gambit of lacing. Dense and intricate to webby and clinging. oteyj (716), Canterbury, New Hampshire, USA Jul 26, 2009 Reddish brown pour with one finger white head that dissipates rather quickly. Aroma is toasty with toffee caramel and some toast. Fruity esters are evident. Flavor is caramel malt- lots of sweetness with hints of roast. Palate is medium finishing quite clean. Decent but a little below average. Cletus (5002), Connecticut, USA Jul 19, 2009 Pours amber with a thin white head. Smells of sweet malt. Tastes sweet with some light fruity hints on the finish. SSSteve (2047), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Jul 10, 2009 clear orange under a medium sized white head. nutty and caramel notes with plenty of malts. a bit chalky. toasty aroma. an all around solid average beer.
