Aug 29, 2006 12 oz. bottle, Bottled On Date: 2/13/06...Pours a sparkling cherry oak with a small, creamy, root beer-like head. Spare lacing...Smells of heavy caramel malts with light celery hops. Can also detect some vanilla butter notes as well...Average body with a quite gritty texture that finishes a little dry and chalky. Soft carbonation...Tastes like lightly sweetened cereal with a moderately bitter finish but lacks any real semblance of hops...Overall, a little too watery and is definitely lacking substantial character. Was expecting more nuttiness, more malts, more…..I guess just “more” in general. Pleasant enough, but somewhat forgettable.

Jul 13, 2006 Lovely color and lasting head but poor mouthfeel, non-existent aroma and bland overall taste really detracted from this one. A bit of caramel in the taste but nothing to make me try again.

Jul 3, 2006 Nice looking beer - reddish brown with tan head. Not much of an aroma, nutty palate and grainy finish.

Jun 23, 2006 Not one of my favorites by Redhook. Flavor isn’t really anything special, tastes of caramel with alittle chocolate.

Jun 15, 2006 Pours not really brown but a dark clear red with a medium beige head. Light caramel and dustiness in the nose. Flavor is quite boring; some caramel/toffee with hints of chocolate, a tinge of roast and some light hop character. Watery body with very subtle carbonation. Boring and uninspired.

Jun 11, 2006 Poured a red-brown color with a small head that didn’t lace much. The aroma was of bubblegum and light musty nuts. The flavor was too sweet and simple. Some nuts in the flavor with a touch of hops in the finish. Mouthfeel was rather light. Not bad, but below average. Drinkable, just boring in the end (like their ESB). More than one might give me a headache, though: too sweet.
