12 ounce bottle from somewhere. Pours a clear red color with a thin head. Poor retention and lacing. Aroma is grain with an odd spicy note. Some sweet malts as well. Taste is sweet grainy malts with a hint of caramel. Thin bodied.

Bottle. Body is a nice reddish amber and supports a pretty good fluffy head. Aromas are malty... caramel and nuts with a little bit of a crisp grass and citrus. Flavor is a bit ugly, especially when compared to the appearance and aromas, both of which were nice. Kind of a watery malt presence with a little bit of a taste of oldness.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber color with a small off white head that diminishes rather quickly. The aroma is a fruity malt with some licorice. Very little lacing on the glass. The taste is a roasted malt with a spicy fruit finish. A great session beer and easy to drink from Matt.

bottle - Pours amber with a one finger head and a caramel malt dominated aroma. The flavor is sweet caramel malt with a mild hops bite and lightly bitter finish. It’s on the thin side and is an ok session brew when better isn’t available.

White head that looks nice at first, but goes away really fast, then leaves a pretty lacing. Reddish-brown color which is brown, but not as brown as other brown ales. Fruity sweet, caramel smell. Light-bodied, with a little bit of hops in it. Not too malty. Not too flavorful, but really smooth. Caramel finish ontop of that without too much aftertaste.

Botte. Brown sugar and sour barley malt aroma. Brown amber with minimal head. Sour barley malt flavor with a hint of brown sugar and a moderate hops finish for the style. Used to be one of the best choices in the late 80s/early 90s when it was one of the few micros around. Still decent but not as distinctive as it used to be.

Pour is a brown with a white head. Aroma is where this one has problems. I can get almost nothing. Some malts but not much else. Flavor on the other hand is decent. Light caramel malts with some roasted nuts and finishes with a nice hoppy backbone. Nothing earth shattering but a decent beer available almost eveywhere.
