Aug 26, 2007 Shockoe festival Richmond VA-Draft: Bready, nutty, and a little meaty aroma. Cloudy light ochre pour, thick yellow head. Taste is sweet caramel and walnut. There’s a faint hint of bubblegum on the palate. Chewy mouthfeel.

Aug 12, 2007 On tap at the Microfestivus ’07... Dark amber pour with a frothy eggshell head that reduces to a small cap; leaves soapy lace. Malt, silage and sour grains to the nose... maybe some light wet tobacco, reminiscent of a countryside. Malty introduction upfront, with slightly sour grains in the mid-palate. It finishes with a boldly bitter back that contains some esters. Lingering hops add body and complexity to a rounder/warmer, yet quaffable mouthfeel. Decent for the season it’s intended.

Mar 20, 2007 Deep mahogany almost copper in colour, very thin quickly dissipating beige head, no lacing. The aroma is of rich caramel, lightly alcohol, bready and some citrus hops. The flavour has a good amount of caramel sweetness, very bready, some yeast, dark fruits, moderate alcohol. Medium bitter mouthfeel, medium body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes bready, very malty, some light alcohol, lingering. A nice winter brew.

Jan 25, 2007 (12oz bottle) Crystal clear copper body topped by creamy, medium tan head with nice lacing. Aroma is sweet, cherry, caramel, some alcohol. Taste is sweet, caramel/cookie, cherry, light alcohol that complements the big maltiness. Smooth, medium-full body. A bit sweet for my taste, but still pretty enjoyable.

Nov 10, 2006 Medium orange brown, slight head lasted fairly well. Aroma was caramel and bread. Flavor was bready with a nice hint of hoppy floral notes on the finish. Really a nice little beer.

Nov 5, 2006 Bottle. Poured a bright orange-red with a firm foam top. Slight sugary aroma. Sugary and sweet with an almost beefy aspect. This would go well with a gravied steak. Mega-malty.
