Poured dark brown color with an average frothy light brown head that was lasting and produced good lacing. Good moderate complex spice and malt aroma. Medium body with a smooth sticky texture and soft texture. Moderate bittersweet flavor with with a moderate sweet finish of average duration.

Feb 17, 2009 Bottle. Root beer color with a light beige head. Honey, cereal, molasses and toffee aromas. Grainy, honeyed malt flavor with sappy, woody, fruitgummy and barky notes. Some twiggy hops on the finish. Generally earthy. Medium-full body. Not terrible, but definitely not a stocker.

Feb 12, 2009 Bottle. Pours amber red with a beige head. Malty sweet, a bit toasty, with caramel and some fruity undertones. The flavor is on the malty side, but still has enough hops of a hop presence to keep it balanced. Caramel, nutty sweetness, and a light spice. Very enjoyable.

Jan 25, 2009 This needs updating. It is called Special Ale.. And this bottle no longer looks like this.
But with that out of the way it poured a rich amber with very large white head and sticky lacing. Nose of caramel malts, and light hops. Smooth mouthfeel. Good rich flavor. Good beer.

Jan 20, 2009 Brown color, foaming head. Big malty nose with lots of toffee/caramel, molasses and maybe just a wee bit of diacetyl but I could be looking extra hard for it! Surprising herbal hoppiness leads the way in the flavor, backed by a strong toffee malt. Generally full if a bit fizzy mouthfeel. Finish is balanced, and is somewhat nutty. Lingering hint of astringency.
