dark ruby, whispy beige head, sweet butterscotch candy aroma, lots of butterscotch flavor, light touch of chocolate, almost a chocolate and butterscotch candy, is this intentional?

Jun 20, 2005 Harrisburg Beer Festival 2... Draft... The woman at the Penn Brewing Company’s serving station was bitchy. She couldn’t understand why I needed her to rinse out my tasting glass before the pour and gave me hell about it. So much for these festivals being a way to mingle with beer drinkers and attract more of us to one’s line of beers. I was hoping for something great out of this one so I could show how non-biased my rating would be after the incident... not to be. The brew was thin, watery and nondescript. Even when I let it warm, I got nothing out of it. It wasn’t offensive, just tasted like a dark Coors light. Maybe a whisper of chocolate in the nose... maybe I’m reaching. Next beer please!

Apr 16, 2007 Courtesy of cheapdark. Pours dark brown with a thin white head. Smells of nuts, dark fruit, some spices. Tastes of cherries, oranges, roses, lemons, earthy malt and some tea character. Mouthfeel is like ice tea. Finish is sweet and tarte. This brewer is really starting to impress me.

Aug 15, 2007 Tap at Hop Devil Grill. Deep brown beer with a thin white head. Aroma is malty and sweet with toasted caramel, toasted nuts and a fairly soft sweetness. Earthy bitterness behind the malty sweetness. Chewy texture, toasted nuts and an oddly industrial maltiness on the back. I expect better from these guys.

Aug 26, 2006 Bottle. Clear dark amber color with a medium dark beige head. Weird nose, not very appealing, with some creamed corn scents, some sour maple and some brown maple sap yeast scents as well. DMS is a bit too strong in this one. Flavor is simple maple and brown sugar flavored malts, with some decent toasted grains and bready flavors, and the palate is lightly bitter and a bit thin.
