Sep 22, 2009 Bomber poured into a tulip. Amber color with a frothy off-white head. Aroma of roasted caramel malt and slight coffee. Taste is slightly coffee, with toasty sweet malt and very faint hops. Medium crisp mouthfeel, very smooth. Pretty good session beer!

Sep 9, 2009 Another bottle shared with Woody Chandler, thanks again! An amber pour with no head. Caramel malts with notes of pineapple. Very mellowed probably due to the three year cellar time. This was not flat but mild and lacking some essential flavors.

Sep 6, 2009 Updated: Oct 2, 2009Brewed in the USA.... Courtesy of Woody, thanks brother !!! Pours a reddish brown color with zero head. Aroma of caramel, malts, bread and earth. Taste of toffee, malts, citrus hops and a hint of pepper. Mouthfeel was thin in body with zero carbonation Another bottle appx 3 years old !!!
Update : Beer corrtesy of AFI96. There were a few differences the 2nd time around !!! Super foamy white head that dissipates in time. Hops on the nose and carbonation on the palate.

Aug 18, 2009 A very red/gold liquid, the head and lacing are insane. A beautiful beer.
Scent reminds me of a lighter hopslam, with honey over some mild hops. Lemon tea comes to mind.
Taste is very surprisngly pleasant. I usually don’t appreciate what feel like watered down other beers, but this isn’t just watered down, it’s calculatedly mild. Ah hell, I don’t know how to put into words what I’m trying to say, but this is a damn good beer.
Mouth is great with a relatively thick feel over medium carbonation.
Excellent stuff, one you don’t hear of too much from FFF.

Jul 30, 2009 Very nice aroma of floral hops, caramel, toffee, bread. The aromas of a typical Irish Ale, yet nicer. The appearance is also true to the style, red/amber, clear, white head. The flavor is caramel, chocolate, bread, mild citrus hops. The finish is a moderate hop bittering, both floral and citrus, and a lingering caramel sweetness, which works here. The mouthfeel is on the thick side, creamy. Very nicely done.

Jul 20, 2009 Bottle. Pours a nice reddish brown with a nice head. Aroma is much hoppier than expected. It has a nice malty backbone. Notes of sweet fruit, caramel, ginger, and bread come out as well. On the palate, this is a smooth, refreshing beer. The finish is crisp, leaving a nice bitter hoppy after taste. I founf this beer to be very enjoyable. It has a stronger hop character than I would have expected from an Irish Ale, but I think that really adds to it. I agree with Bigmmartin with it not being a very complex beer, but I think it is one of the better Irish Ales I have ever had.
