Oct 23, 2005 This one was a bit of a gusher, as soon as I popped the cap the beer tried to foam over. The beer is a clear, deep amber color, and despite being well carbonated only forms a thin pale amber colored head. The aroma is a mix between sweet caramel, and intense fruity notes of prune and cherry and even perhaps a bit of sherry. The taste is somewhat malty, and has a weird lingering finish that seems a bit off. There are notes of sherry here as well as caramel, and a concentrated fruitiness that reminds me of prunes. This is pretty light on the palate and the one thing that really lingers is the sherry note.

Oct 3, 2005 12 oz bottle via trade with Lou18 - Pours dark copper with a short creamy white head. Aroma of haylike hops and caramel malts. Flavor is nutty, caramel, and those same haylike hops create almost a sour aftertaste. Palate is medium bodied and fairly creamy. Not bad but a little below average.

Jun 5, 2005 Bottled. Pours copper with a small head. Smells caramelly. Tastes slightly botter with hints of hops on the finish. Great as a session beer at a barbeque.

May 19, 2005 Tap at the brewery. Copper, clear, off white head. Hoppy and slightly fruity aroma. Nice balance of noble hops and malt in the flavor. Very easy drinking, no flaws. Decent bitter (this is not a brown ale!).

May 16, 2005 This seemed more like a darker amber to me. Not quite a brown. Pours a clear, amber, brown body with a thick dissapating light tan head. Good roasted malty aroma. Some nice chocolate scents. Flavor is toasted, sweet. Has some good sides and bad sides. Harsh at times. Thin body. Nice beer.

Mar 16, 2005 Pours coppery brown, with a slight head. Some hoppy and malt aroma, but the flavor contained that and something that reminded me of green beans. Also a slight sour bite.
