Light amber. Fizzy, diminishing beige head. Light carbonation. Candied caramel aroma, weak toasted notes. Softly crisp, mildly toasty sweet with a trace of Vienna nuttiness. Mushy body. Not very clean or fresh. Medium body. Sourish hints, apple like. Fair bitterness but nary a hop aroma or flavor. Finishes cleaner with a lingering toasted malt, sloppy sweet aftertaste. Nothing I would buy.

12oz bottle. Poured a clear and deep amber color. A thin foamy head of tan foam. The aroma yields deep and rich molasses like notes with a sweet nut-like quality. The taste is full of fine weighty malts. Caramel comes through, along with woody and earthy notes. A nutty bitterness appears in the finish. Full flavored and overall a good beer.

Notes from 2004 - Not the best thing to ever come down the pike at Sam Adams, but drinkable. A sweet caramel malt background, a bit of salty nuttiness, and some dried fruit glaze the palate, dry finish, but not overly complex. Did nothing to wow me.

Not too familiar with this style, was more remniscent of a strong amber. Poured an amber orange with some brown and a fluffly off-white head. Aroma was roasted malt, dry hops and hints of fruit. Taste was caramel, along with roasted nuts, grapes, prunes and spicy hops. After is well-balanced. Good drinking beer.

Pours a dark Amber, nice taste. Good malty flavor. It finishes a little weak for my taste but not a bad brew. A slight smokey taste can be found.

Dark amber color with a nice off white head. Aroma is mostly roasted malt. Taste is somewhat earthy very malt based. Some smokey and warming flavors in there also.

pours a dark amber with a nice off-white head that hangs around, roasted malt aroma (usually im not a fan of that) this beer is smooth with a little hoppiness and a little sweet, drinkable.

Pretty good. I used to love this but then I got more educated about beer. This beer is unique tasting and difficult to find at least as far as I know. If you’re not a big beer drinker you’ll probably dig this beer.
