bottle, nose is weak malt, almost musty smelling. The taste is old bad malt, it tastes like vomit honestly, not good at all. The aftertaste is terrible. I hope I got a bad bottle or otherwise I would rather just drink Scotch all night than beer that tastes like this. Would not ever buy again unless it was to determine if I had a bad bottle

Aug 16, 2008 Tap. Amber colored with a nice head produced by the tap. Better aroma than expected. A nice caramel and toast aroma left me thinking I had been missing out on a gem. But the flavors were disappointing. The toast-bread flavors didn’t translate well in the taste and I was stuck with a almost metallic bitter taste that was a big turnoff.

Jul 17, 2008 From bottle. Mild caramel and biscuit notes, light hoppy acidity, neutral fruits. Medium orange-amber clear, with quickly dissipating head. Light body with medum carbonation. Starts with a little sweetness, light acidity and some nutty-dry caramel. Dull sweet malt until the end, with a mild bitter and nutty after.

Jul 5, 2008 Bottle. Pours amber orange with a beige head. Aroma is very light, with a bit of caramel malt. Medium body. Flavor is again very light, with some caramel malt, light hops and a light fruity sweetness. Not bad I guess.

Sackets Harbor War of 1812 Ale is an amber ale with a thin, dense, splotchy white head that soon fades. The aroma is faint, slightly sweet and slightly roasty. It has a medium light body and it’s reasonably smooth. The flavor is faint and a little sour. It’s not very bitter and a bit wooden tasting. Overall, it’s a pretty unoffensive beer.

May 24, 2008 On tap. Pours a nice amber color with a small white head. Has a mildly nutty aroma with a bit of a fruit presence. Taste is pretty good, mildly sweet with a nice medium floral hop presence. Light and easy to drink, could put these down all day.
