Hazy red-brown pour, thin beige head, nice sediment, minimal lace. Sweet malts and grass hops on the nose. Turns into real malt bomb on the tongue: apple cider, toffee, nuts, toast, with more of the grassy hops to balance the sweetness. Tasty, but somewhat watery.

Reasonable beer. Poured with a nice tannish-brown head. Slightly hazy, brownish dark amber color. Aroma is caramel, malt, and nuts. Not nearly as much hop as I’d expect from the English moniker. Still, it’s an easy pleasant beer. No off flavors. Good finish.

Thanks to bockyhorsey for this beer. Mahogany color with no head. Nuts, malts, earth and some peat. Flavor is sweet malt, hops, grains and some soft scotch-like flavors. Enjoyable. Thanks Bill.

Thanks to buckybeer for this one. Produces a small off-white head over a cherry brown body. Rich malty, nutty aroma. Malty flavor profile with just enough hop bitterness to keep this nicely drinkable. Good feel to it.

Pour is hazed ruddy amber with a thin tight bubbled tan head...smell is lightly sweet with caramel and some faint wet dog...taste is lightly sweet with caramel, then grainy, then that damn dog is back in the house again...

Amber with a thin off-white head. Aroma of caramel, sweet malts and mild hops. Taste of light caramel with a light hop finish, semi-watery. It’s okay but nothing to write home about.

Sand Creek Brewery Night at Three Cellars. . Aroma of caramel, butter toffee. Flavor is slight nutty, sweet malt, and a good hop balance. Light bodied. One of Sand Creeks Better beers.
