Pint on tap at 1833 Restaurant, Oberlin. Clear, dark amber, light sparkle, no head and no lacing. Aroma is strong caramel, light spice. Taste mirrors aroma. Smooth texture, medium bodied, finish as taste. A typically boring style for me but at least there is excellent strength and some interest with the spiciness.

Aroma is bready, toasty, caramel, peppery. Taste has a light caramelly, bready malt sweetness backed by significant herbal hop bitterness.

Can at home. Clear amber pour and smallish head. Nose is caramel and malt. Tastes of caramel, dried fruit, malt, hint of nuts and raisins. Thin bodied. Smooth though.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a dark orange almost amber color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that fell off at a good pace. Light stringy lace.
The aroma had some grassy sweet to bitter hops over top of a nice caramel/toffee base malt. Light pomme-like fruits then some bready sweetness. Ends with some toast.
The flavor had a decent blend of toast sweetness to malt sweetness with a touch of leafy to slight low herbal quality. Aftertaste had some nuts, the leafiness and the herbal quality. Pillowy sweet finish.
The feel was almost medium bodied, seemed like it sat just a tad under. I didn’t mind as it seemed just where I would want an Irish red ale to sit on my tongue. Carbonation felt good. ABV felt as projected by the brewer.
Overall, what’s not to love with this one. Great Lakes did a stellar job with this one and if I lived closer in it’s distro, I wouldn’t mind slamming this one back during St. Paddy’s Day.
