Jan 21, 2008 Bottle. Dark reddish brown with a medium off-white head. Aroma is malty, semi sweet, with a tiny bit of roastiness. Taste is dark malt, but not overly thick. Fruit and caramel in the finish. Nice.

Jan 20, 2008 355 ml bottle, pours a soda-like color with little head, almost looks like a stout. I couldnt get a good feel for the aroma as it was very complex, but I found it kind of sweet but also a little roasty. Good body, taste is also kind of sweet, and the carbonation is very evident, Palate is smooth and fills your mouth with flavor. Not too heavy and very drinkable.

Jan 13, 2008 (bottle): Pours a very dark red color body, clearish. Big foamy gray-white head. Lasting. Malty watery aroma, odd. Almost newcastle skunky. Dusty, musty. Sweet malty taste. Newcastle/Irish Red-like. Watery, somewhat musky.

Jan 12, 2008 Updated: Mar 1, 2008Real smooth lightly fruit tasting ale. Poured a real dark golden amber with a light white head. Tastes of light fruit, toffee, and hickory. Would buy again. I do appreciate it for its history and its ability to stay in production today. Definitely a solid beer.

Jan 9, 2008 12 oz bottle: Aroma is sweet, caramel, raisins, and somewhat of a plum characteristic. Pours a carbonated dark amber almost black with a tin tan head that diminishes quickly. Taste has roasted malt flavor, a bit of smoke, I don’t really detect the banana notes talked about in the commercial description. More of a dark fruit note. Overall, Decent not stellar but I could drink more than one of these.
