Apr 26, 2007 Bottle. Poured clear brown color with an average frothy off-white head that was mostly lasting with fair lacing. Moderate roasted caramel and sour citrus aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Medium bitter flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration.

Apr 24, 2007 Bottle. Small tan head that mostly diminished, minimal lacing, visible carbonation, transparent, and a ruby hue Nose was malty, sweet, roasty, burnt, some smoke notes, and chocolate notes. Flavor was sweet, alcohol well hidden, malty, chocolate, watery-thin, roasty, and burnt. Finishes with a roasty, burnt aftertaste that does not linger for a long time. Mouthfeel was smooth, watery and thin. Light body. Decent, quaffable brew. Just sort of a so-so brew for me.

Apr 22, 2007 I like altbier’s, and I really like other Two Brother’s beers I’ve tried, so I was really excited when I heard about this one. It was pretty good, but I couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed by this beer.
It pours a coffee brown with a very minimal head (less than a cm). Aroma is light, pleasant, and toffee-ish. Flavor is slightly sour and heavily caramel-y...more like a bock than I expected. The sourness seems slightly off to me, and I must say that the mouthfeel is over-carbonated, which is odd given the small amount of head when I poured it. This beer is also sticky in your mouth, which in my opinion is consistent with the style. Still, I must say i was a bit disappointed with the flavor of this beer.

Apr 21, 2007 Poured a thick deep tanned leather color. Lots of off-white head. Lots of light apple spice, brown sugar, and caramel notes in the nose. Thick oat, malt, caramel with a hint of bitterness and fruit in the flavor. Not overstated and quite balanced. Enjoyable. 22 oz bottle. Quite pleased with this pick up.

Apr 21, 2007 Deep ruby red color. Minimal head. This beer just doesn’t seem too exciting initially but as it warms it gets better. I am getting a lot of cherry fruitiness, and a bit of malt, but not much else. Body is decent. Chocolate is there as well. Soft chocolate malts show up at the end, and they are delicious. Anyway, I’m gonna drink it up and give an RIP to Victor. Heres to old school farmers that care about quality!

Apr 18, 2007 Dark brown, almost cola. Couldn’t get a read on the aroma -- cigaretty bar. Very grassy, unpleasantly tart and bitter. This seemed like a homebrew experiment gone awry. Light cherry undertones. Thin. Move on. Disappointing in one of my favorite categories. On tap, Clarke St Ale House, Chicagor, Winston trip.
