From old tasting notes. Deep Amber red color. Thin white head. Sweet toasted malt aroma, reminiscent of oatmeal cookies. Tangy toasted malt flavor. Nice coffee-like character with a pinch of hoppiness in the finish. Cloying mouth filling aftertaste.

Sample at the "Portland? Psh More Like Beerland" tasting on 03/10/10. Bottle courtesy of a traveling colleague. The beer is a clear dark amber color with a medium thin and foamy off-white head that dissipates slowly. Stringy lacing on the glass. Grainy malt and hops in the nose. Medium, smooth body with flavors of sweet malt, mildly bitter hops and a touch of molasses. The finish is malty with a lingering light hops aftertaste. Okay overall.

Dark amber ale with a good white head. Caramel aroma with notes of nuts and light smokeyness. Good malt base with nuttyness, like a good brown ale, not too sweet. Medium bodied. Jan. 2005.

This Ale pours a deep amber with a creamy light brown head. The nose has a little alcohol and lots of malt. Maybe a little raisin or grape scents along with a hint of coffee. Fist taste was mild with a nice amount of carbonation and tons of malt. Slightly sweet with a slight roasted flavour. The finish was slightly grassy with a hint of caramel. Great beer all around.

Pours a clear copper color with a thin off-white head. Cereal (cheerios) aroma. Medium body, with sweet caramel and cheerios flavor. Immediately reminded me of another beer I've rated...and finally it came to me. Goose Island Kilgubbin Red Ale. Gritstone has some characteristics of amber ales too. A nice surprise hiding in the bottom of the shipment CaptainCougar sent me!

A soft brew with a faint malt character and a hoppier, spicier nose.........
