Apr 10, 2007 Draft sample at brewpub. Poured clear dark reddish brown color with full light brown head that diminished slowly with good lacing. Moderate aroma of caramel, nuts and troasted malt. Medium body with sticky texture. Medium bittersweet balanced flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. My expectations where met.

Dec 27, 2006 On tap at Schmohz. Deep red-brown body, thin off-white head. Very light, toasty aroma that would have made a stronger impression if the beer was served at an appropriate temperature. Alas. The toasty body opened up a bit as it warmed, revealing caramels and dark fruit skin, with red grape notes and noticeable alcohol. Not a bad effort.

Jan 16, 2006 blech....old ale?!?!?!?
to call this beer is a trajedy to the true style and recipe of Old Ales everywhere....this beer was dark reddish brown with medium head....aroma was of grapefruit hops and some indistinct malty hints (some roastiness)...lacking the caramel and barley-wineish complexity i was seeking...lacking true sugar and spice complements...no added fruit notes..call this a hop-infused oktoberfest, or hoppy brown ale, or something else.....or just stop pissing in the kegs and calling it good beer
