Aroma shows a bit of tea, caramel and unfinished malt. Flavor is much the same with a slightly bitter finish. Nice round mouthfeel, but unusually placed sweetness lingers long into the aftertaste. Seems unrefined. Perhaps a bad bottle.

Nov 29, 2009 This was enjoyed at a supper Kemper and his family. the color was a deep clear amber. Nice head and bold taste. Could use some hops. The malt flavors carried this medium bodied ale. Not sure I would go for this ale when a PaleAle was around.

Oct 25, 2009 Dark copper colored with a thick white head. Plenty of malt throughout, with overtones of caramel candy. A bit on the sweet side, but otherwise very drinkable.

Oct 23, 2009 Bottle. Nice dark red amber look with a thin off white head. Good and bad things in the aroma...bitter chocolate and caramel but some rubbing alcohol as well. Taste starts as sweet caramel with a long lasting sour nuttty finish. Not a big fan of that bitter nut aftertaste.

Oct 8, 2009 Serving: 12 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Cloudy amber with a very effervescent, reddish/tan head.
Aroma: Malty with notes of caramel, carrots, and tea.
Flavor: A strong metallic note is the first thing I taste. Caramel, a twinge of tea, and a slightly oxidized note come along for the ride. This one is past it’s prime. A slight fruitiness emerges as the beer warms. It almost has a little winey character to it.
Palate: Medium, relatively smooth carbonation with a medium mouthfeel and a slightly dry, medium finish.
Overall: Better than average but still not a great Amber.

Oct 5, 2009 I think this beer is pretty decent as far as Amber Ales go. Definitely worth a six-pack, but not more than one over a long-period of time. Duck-Rabbit is superior when it comes to darker beers, average with stuff like this.

Oct 4, 2009 Hazy amber color with a small, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malts, toffee, nuts, light brown sugar, citrus, and some floral hops. Taste of toffee, nuts, caramel, citrus, and light bitterness.
