Thanks to someone for bonusing this fabulous beer. I’ve seen Two Brothers around but never picked anything up. That may change - they certainly have at least one solid release.
Aroma / Appearance - The ruby red body possessed a chunky layer of head that was slightly off white. Caramel, rye, sweet malt, and warm cherry pie form a bright combination of aromas that perk up the senses.
Flavor / Palate - Sweet caramel chews are the first impression. Soon after comes rye and peanut butter cookies. A residual maltiness highlights a smooth and cohesive mixture of flavors in a way that is so inviting I could almost finish three of these in a night. The finish reminds me of warm angel’s food cake with a drizzle of cherry and caramel icing. jeremytoni (1121), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 27, 2009 From a bottle poured brown with a small head. Nice hoppy flavor with a lingering sweet finish. jrob21 (1278), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 25, 2009 Pours a dull red slightly amber color. Aroma is very floral with some grassy notes. Also a little bit of sugar sweetness. Flavor is nice malt, caramel, baked bread. A little bit of red fruit in there as well, hiding though and pretty faint. Hop bitterness is very faint as well on the far end of the sip. Even though this is "heavily dry hopped with simcoe" you do not get an overpowering hop experience. Finish leaves a bit of sweetness around the lips. deyholla (746), Bloomington, Indiana, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 21, 2009 Bottle. Poured a dark reddish amber with an off-white head. Aroma consisted of sweet hops, and malty notes, sugar and caramel. Flavor is nice and hoppy, but finishes not to bitter with a nice sweetness from the malts. Yet it leaves a bitter after taste on your tongue. Quite enjoyable. kiefdog (1639), Tampa, Florida, USA
