Amber with 2 oz of beer and 14 of head. Tinny nose. Light malt, vague hop end. Gassy and boring even for this style

Got in a trade with GreenBayBA. 12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 10/9/2018. Pours fairly crystal clear deep ruby red/orange/copper color with a 1-2 finger dense light khaki head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, toasted biscuit, and nuttiness; with light notes of toffee, roast, plum, pear, red apple, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great complexity of dark/bready/light roast malts and mild fruity yeast/earthy hop notes; with good strength. Taste of big caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, toasted biscuit, and nuttiness; with light notes of toffee, roast, plum, pear, red apple, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Very mild herbal, grassy, spicy hop; and roast bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, toasted biscuit, nuttiness, light toffee/roast, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity and robustness of dark/bready/light roast malts and mild fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; with a solid malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying flavors after the finish. Slightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and slightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Minimal warming alcohol for 6%. Overall this is an outstanding Irish red ale! All around awesome complexity and robustness of dark/bready/light roast malts and mild fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink with the minimally bitter/drying finish. Very clean and rich malt complexity; with mild fruity yeast and earthy hops against sweetness. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazing style example. One of the best I've had.

12 ounce bottle from the brewery. Dark red with at thin fizzy tan head that fades quickly. Aroma of earth and caramel. The taste is caramel, toffee, raisin, earth. Thin.

Not bad. Flavor’s for the most part really good with a slight toffee roastiness, but also a bit medicinal in the finish. Fairly decent drop though. I’ll have more.

Bottle 35,5 cl. Pours a deep, clear red with a dissipating off-white head. Nose is a little dusty caramel. Medium body, luckily not overly sweet, way more to the dry side. Dry finish. No hop emphasis really. 170516

Draft at the OF. Deep brown-amber color. Amber malt aroma. Amber malt taste, with a slight soapy, spicy, hop edge. Medium to full bodied. A nice Amber, pretty right on for a style I’m admittedly not wild about.

Light red color. No hop presence, but roasted malt in the aroma and lightly roasted in the flavor. Very dry. Simple but good.
