Oct 16, 2006 12 oz bottle, raided from relative’s fridge. Pours a clear dark amber under a small creamy film of beige head. Lazy streams of gentle bubbles rise. Aroma is lightly hoppy with a light caramel and toffee malt base. Some doughy malt notes as well. Flavor is very lightly bitter with alot of cereal grains and a light nuttiness as well as touches of toffee. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with moderate fizzy carbonation. Finishes a little sticky. Overall, a decent drinker, but there just wasn’t a whole lot to get excited about.

Oct 15, 2006 Got this one bottled from my father-in-law out west. Beautiful dark brown pour with a tan head, lots of hoppiness and coffee bitterness in the nose, continuing throughout and onto a crisp, clean finish. A spark of chocolate sweetness early. Different, but good.

Oct 15, 2006 Nice looking dark brown color makes for an appetizing appearance. I expected more bitters but found at least as much hops as bitters. Just a bit of malt. Nice drinking beer but not really memorable.

Oct 15, 2006 12 oz bottle-Poured a clear ruby red color w/a small off white head. Roasted aroma of hops & grain. Up front hops w/a touch of caramel, nuts & toffee. Has a clean, crisp, bittersweet finish which is kind of short. It’s not bad, but there are better examples out there.

Sep 30, 2006 Bottled. Pours a clear amber with a lacy off-white head. The body tends to light. Some fruit and herbal notes in the rather faint aroma. Tast of toffee and not much else. Bittersweet finish that gets more bitter/piney towards the bottom of the glass.

Sep 15, 2006 This ale looked good and smelled good but the taste left me hanging. A slight hop at the start, but finished with a grainy textured malt leaving a funny taste in my mouth. Average.
