uhclem (108), Loveland, Colorado, USA Jul 16, 2008 Deep copper pour with a minimal head and lacing. Nose is of malt and cardamom. Taste is an interesting blend of malt, hops, caramel and spices with an earthy undertone. Mouthfeel and finish are somewhat pedestrian. VitaminR (239), USA Apr 12, 2008 Rich malty eggnog nose. Deep brown copper color with a medium head. Smooth complex malt sweetness, with a subtle hop bitterness that complements the malts. Medium bodied with a smooth easy finish. Really nice session beer. patrick767 (1377), fort wayne, Indiana, USA Apr 6, 2008 tap at the brewpub - Pours dark amber and has an aroma of malts and fruity esters that also come through in the flavor. In that sense it reminded me of their blonde ale. Add caramel malt, a mild to moderate hops bite, and a medium body. It works well as a session beer. sallad (66), USA Dec 7, 2007 Somewhat hazy, deep mahogany with a nice tan head. A little bit bready / yeasty aromas. Some nice sweetness and spice, too. Rich amber malt backbone, a little bit dry and bitter, with a toasty tangy finish. Not a whole lot of hops. RSRIZZO (945), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Dec 1, 2007 Had this beer on 9/6/1999. Color is a deep hazy red with good carbonation and head. Aroma is a deep roasted malt scent. Taste is bold, robust, and malty. Starting off with a rich body the flavors of roasted malt come on right away. It goes down crisp as the finish begins with a strong malt flavor and ending with a nice but firm hop bitterness and a faint hop flavor.
