Jul 25, 2007 Dark amber color with thin light brown head. Sweet carob nose with a hint of caramel. More carob and caramel in the body but with a distinct "fishy" taste and a rough finish. This bottle might be off as the other Matt Brewing beer I’ve had was a good session beer.

Jul 25, 2007 malty with a mild hop finish . the malt taste overrides with caramel and also is slightly nutty. it is a bit creamy, and this complements. looks ok in the glass ruby and with light black addition . mild sweetness flavor profile has been known to change over the years.

Jul 24, 2007 Bottle. Pours amber with a cream colored head and nice lacing. Sweet malt aroma. Some very mild hop aroma, but nothing to serious. Flavor is sweet and mild. This is one of the brews I recommend to people who are getting into craft beer. For more adventurous types I recommend something stronger in terms of hop/malt/yeast profile. But I don’t see how this could offend any palate, and I recommend it to the most timid drinkers.

Jul 12, 2007 Bottle. Pours deep mahagony with thick off-white head. Aroma is fruity, berries, sweet malt scent with displeasing metallic odor behind. Flavor is stale hops, faint berry and citrus flavors. Slightly sweet aftertaste.

Jul 6, 2007 BOTTLE: Disappointing, this one. Not surprised at the typical F X Matt thin body and slightly oily palate, but this is a fairly muddy and bland brew for something called "wicked". Several Saranacs from this brewery are more appealing (and cheaper) brews. Fails the "empty bottle sniff" test miserably with a sour aroma. Maybe a bad bottle??BUY AGAIN? No, except to confirm that this bottle was typical.

Jun 20, 2007 Botte. Brown sugar and sour barley malt aroma. Brown amber with minimal head. Sour barley malt flavor with a hint of brown sugar and a moderate hops finish for the style. Used to be one of the best choices in the late 80s/early 90s when it was one of the few micros around. Still decent but not as distinctive as it used to be.

Jun 17, 2007 Pour is a brown with a white head. Aroma is where this one has problems. I can get almost nothing. Some malts but not much else. Flavor on the other hand is decent. Light caramel malts with some roasted nuts and finishes with a nice hoppy backbone. Nothing earth shattering but a decent beer available almost eveywhere.
