On tap at Mahars. Average all around, very session like. Poured a nice red, with a little head. Flavor was not bad, just weak.

Pours brown with a thin off white head. Smells of caramel, some spicy hints. Tastes earthy and semi sweet with some fruity undertones.

Thanks to jcwattsrugger for this one. Clear rich brown body with a touch of ruby at the edges. Sits under a long lasting off-white head. Sweet malt aroma with a touch of cinnamon. Dark caramel sweetness with no hop presence. Thin.

12oz bonus from a trade a ways back. Pours amber with a generous 3 finger tan head. The nose seems to have a bit of nutmeg. Taste is sweet and oddly spiced. Strange indeed.

Amber brown color. weak caramel, hops, body, flavor. pretty light bodied and simple. not much stepping out of the ordinary here. nice lingering bitterness, however.
