Bottled. A hazy red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, nuts, and fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of bread, malt, metal, and nuts, leading to a dry, bitter, and metallic finish.

A reddish copper ale with a thin moka head. In aroma, nutty malt with light coffee notes. In mouth, a decent roasted malt with light herbal notes, light coffee, a bit of British hopping, medium bodied. Not bad.

Really red color, with a slightly not white head, but mostly white. Malty smell, like an Irish Ale mostly. A little bit of roasted coffee, a bunch of malts, not really a lot of flavor. Rock Art doesn’t really make that good beers.

12 oz brown bottle courtesy of jjpm74, thanks dude! In the description, the nick name for this beer is Super Glide. As the owner of a super glide I am intrigued. Pop the lid and you get a whiff of berries, that fades into a yeasty beery aroma. Color is darker brown with light orange hints and tinge. The initial flavor is good beer impact. With the first taste I wanted to say it was hoppy, but it is not. A complex evolution of flavors takes place with this brew. Has a roastyness to it like no other. Impressive yet not overwhelming. Though I can’t definitely say it is fruit, there is some interesting, quite different appeal to this. An earthy friendship abounds. After a while, a light building to medium, bitterness begins to appear on the back of the palate. I think while I drink this I get the feeling that the winds of Kokopelli are blowing thru my hair while I ride my Harley around the northeast US. Finish is a rather distant relationship with some sassiness. Mild to medium malty lingering bitterness is noticeable for a few moments after the last swallow. Thanks John, this was quite an experience. An amber ale almost as mild as Grolsch Amber Ale and much better than the oppressive bitterness of Mendocino Red Tail Ale

12 oz bottle-pours a thick lacing light tan head with a clear dark amber color. Aroma is hoppy followed by malt. Taste is slightly bitter, hops, dark deep roasted malt.
