This is really not bad if there is absolutely no craft on the menu. There is a nice aroma of caramel, toffee and roasted malt. Taste is pretty much all malts: caramel and toffee standing out. Fairly smooth and inoffensive. Solid for the style.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance had a dark red body with hints of copper, white creamy looking head and lacing that sticks to the glass.
The smell was super malty with light bland apples.
The taste was malty, apples come back but in a bland way.
On the palate, it sat about at a light, sessionable, bland aftertaste and finish.
Overall, I used to really like this beer, but these days I really don’t see myself ever having this again.

Bottle. A- Sharpie markers, alcohol, malty, coffee. A- Amber color, hazy liquid, minimal head. T- Coffee, chocolate, creamy, malty, slightly sweet, slightly bitter. P- Light body, milky texture, average carbonation, flat finish. O- Odd aroma. Quite malty and thin but a decent flavor. Not really sure how I feel about this one. Not a favorite, but not horrible either.

Enjoyed at David’s place in Vegas. Pours a deep amber colour with bubbly yellow cap, good retention and creamy-foamy lace. Malty nose with caramel and roasted malts. Hints of coffee too. Burnt malt taste that lingers, all mildly of course. Not a bad red with decent roasted malts, just a little too light overall.

Bottle. Pours clear reddish amber with a medium off white head that dissipates quickly with a bit of lacing. Aroma is grain, caramel, chemicals. Flavor is medium sweet, bit of grass on the finish, but almost no bitterness.

Bland ale with a strange aftertaste that is not all that pleasant in the palate.
