Aug 20, 2007 Expiration date might be 31 Aug 07 but then again that number might just be a batch code. Very dark pour for an English pale ale...sort of a reddish-brown. The flavor is a tad fruity rather than chocolate-like as the description implies. A medium mouth feel that is very drinkable.

Aug 20, 2007 More coppery than amber, but this was outdoors in twilight. Soft yellowish beige head. Super buttery/caramelly malt nose with briar fruit and herbal hop. Flavor: mild syrupy sweetness, a veritable farmers’ market of mixed berries, and smothering diacetyl. Light toasted malt taste. Jammy as hell. Flabby fruit juice mouthfeel. PEZ finish leads to faintest hop spice and conifer/Altoids aftertaste. Although the whole is better than the parts, the beer remains adequate, nothing more.

Aug 16, 2007 In the bottle from Beertopia. Again, I am mystified as to how these Spanish Peaks beers can hover around a 3 rating. This one is not especially attractive: dark gold/light amber with a thin boring low-malt head. It doesn’t have any discernible aroma that leaves the memory with anything to recognize. Thin and watery in body with only a mild toasted malt flavor. Slightly metallic with a gypsum flavor. Hops are present but not assertive. A mild and underperforming beer.

Aug 16, 2007 Updated: Jan 14, 2008This brew has a dark brass color and a fresh scent of malt and hops. It goes down smooth, with the hop flavor in command - fresh, but not too robust, with a light malty aftertaste. This is a pretty good English bitter. The brewer is located in Montana, but the beer is brewed in Maryland, not Montana and Colorado as the commercial description claims (huh?) The label has a painting of the owner’s black lab on it.

Aug 1, 2007 Robe cuivrée très claire surmontée d’une mousse beige qui s’estompe. Arômes de malt caramélisé. Saveurs de malt caramel et de houblon amérisant.

Jul 28, 2007 Amber brown color with small head and thin body. However, I liked the English hop aftertaste combined with carmel malt up front.
