Bottle sample at a tasting at troubles’s place. Thanks Tom L. Clear amber with an off-white head. Aroma of malt, caramel, overripe fruits, some smokiness, and a bit of minerals. Sweetish flavor with caramel, some smokiness, and some overripe fruitiness. Medium-bodied.

The beer starts malty-dry. Hints of roast. The mainpart is dry-fruity (cherries, plums), nicely bitter and a bit dusty-dry. Cereals but not pushy. Interesting combination, a bit "red", smooth. Hints of dry caramel, slightly bitter till the end.
Very interesting, a bit like a "special grain" brew. Nice! --> 12/12/12/12

Not sure why this is labeled an Irish Ale, which usually means a reddish, bready malt beer, because this is really more of a Brown Ale in my eyes. Copper to brown color, aroma is of sweet to bready malts, large off white head that dissipated quickly. Carbonation level meets the expectation. Taste is of a well crafted brown, malts are forward with this beer, slight dark fruit notes. Hops are evident at the end, some pine, not getting citrus however. Finish is wonderful, very easy to drink.
