| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 28, 2009 2/5/09 On draft at the brewpub. Aroma is dark fruit forward with rich molasses, but somehow not alcoholic. Hop flora is quite low. Appearance is hazy brown with a well maintained cream colored head. Flavor is molasses forward with roast caramel and low sour bittering, possibly english hops. Mouthfeel is full bodied with a moderate carb texture. It’s very unique, I couldn’t call it an amber, but don’t know where I’d place it.

PLenty of long lasting lacing. Aroma is dark, woody, with roasted malts and only slight bitterness. Flavor was similar, again, quite dark for the stlye. A robust, heavy amber that has a nice hop/malt profile. Tasty. jake65 (1725), Williston, North Dakota, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 15, 2006 Loved the color in this brew - dark amber with reddish tones and a small tan head. Very strong maltiness with subtle roasty tones and some caramels. Not much hop presence, but overall a solid amber ale. pinkzambia (989), Boise, Idaho, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 19, 2006 On Tap: Typical amber color with balanced aromas of malts and hops. The style of this tasty amber is to attack first and then follow it with a sweet finish. This was the favorite at our table of four. baobubba (451), Corvallis, Oregon, USA

Slight sweet with a little dusty-roast on the slight bitter finish. I thoght this was OK, I may have had a few too many at the previous stop though. harlequinn (2745), Tacoma, Washington, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Aug 28, 2003 Eh, an average amber ale, with a bitter bite and not in a good way. I liked thie initial flavor this one had to offer, but the aftertaste was really bad. Typical in every was you could rate this one in its other qualities, what more can I say. Very average.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 2, 2003 Hoppy malt character, very rounded. Auburn mahogany color with ruby red qualities. Balanced flavors with complex hop notes and malt profile. Dry, bitter and slightly astringent finish. Good amber with a brewpub feel to it, truly one of the better beers from Highlands.
