Jul 20, 2009 Tasted 7/19/09. Pint draft from the brewpub. Filtered with a deep amber hue. Trace ring of off-white head. Malty and rich body with hints of toffee. Finishes dry with a nice rye bitterness. Good, sweet malt character. There is also a good dose of grassy fresh hops. The malt bill is sweet with notes of cinnamon bread. Medium bodied roast with a solid bitter finish. Tasty!

Feb 28, 2007 I had this on cask at the brewpub. It has a rich, malty nose with just the slightest floral hop. A very well-rounded beer and very drinkable.

Feb 8, 2007 I had this both on cask and on tap. On tap was better, so my rating is on that version. Pours a murky dark amber with a frothy off-white head. The aroma has toasted malt, woodsy earthy hops, some citrus and some malty sweetness to balance things out. Medium body with some subdued sharp carbonation - there is actually quite a bit of carbonation, but it is not obtrusive to the flavors. Flavor starts with lots of spicy woody hops and sweet earthy malts. Very hearty tasting. The finish focuses mainly on the hops with a bit of the sweetness lingering. This brewery has really seemed to have turned a corner with the last few beers I’ve had. Thumbs up to Square One for stepping up and having another winner.

Jan 26, 2007 Full red with copper highlights. Creamy mocha head stays throughout leaving nice lacing. Nose is caramel sweet malt, supported by some fresh bready notes, and a decent dose of hop. Nice. Quite full in the mouth with rich malt, and substantial residual sweetness. Hops are apparent towards the death, where some piney hop flavor and a spine of bitterness suddenly appear to save this from being cloying. Too sweet for me. On cask, and the low level of carbonation might actually have hurt this beer.
