Backlog 4/10-2013. Clear, deep amber body under a big, foamy off-white head. Aroma has caramel, malt and fruit. Taste is sweet malt, caramel, sour fruit and balanced bitterness. Nice body with a kind of sweet and tart finish.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, no bottle dating. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy deep orange/copper with a 1 finger dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread dough/crust, toasted biscuit, and roasted nuts; with lighter notes of chocolate, cocoa, dark fruit, herbal, floral, grass, pepper, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/bready/light roasted malts and light earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with solid strength. Taste of big caramel, brown sugar, brown bread dough/crust, toasted biscuit, and roasted nuts; with lighter notes of chocolate, cocoa, dark fruit, herbal, floral, grass, pepper, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Light herbal, floral, grassy, peppery, roasted bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread dough/crust, toasted biscuit, roasted nuts, chocolate, cocoa, dark fruit, herbal, floral, grass, pepper, and yeast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance dark/bready/light roasted malts and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, and fairly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.3%. Overall this is a very nice American amber ale. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance dark/bready/light roasted malts and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Very well rounded and nicely rich malt complexity, with balancing earthy hops against sweetness. A very enjoyable offering; well made, and spot on style example. No idea how old this was, but it held up great for the ABV.

From Jul 2006

Poured from 12oz bottle a clear red-gold with a medium sized head of foam that slowly dissipated leaving about a 1" layer that stayed for the entire session.

The smell has a malty nose to it...perhaps some caramel sweetness there.

The taste is malty but not really sweet. There's some roastiness going on with a bit of hoppy bitterness and there's a bit of a nutty flavour there as well and over all, I'd have to say it makes for an off the beaten track tasting Red Ale that hits *my* palate nicely.

Bottom line: I like this Red Ale and I'm going to get some more, no doubt about it.

12oz bottle. Filtered copper-burgundy body. Thin, creamy, off-white/beige head. Pretty solid on the malt side, but the hops give it a kind of an odd earthy feel. A pinch bigger than medium bodied, pretty easy going. An OK example of the style.

355 ml bottle, from Fakta, Denmark. B B date 30.05.2014. Gusher bottle de luxe, only a little of the hazy deep reddish brown beer ends up in the glass. Large to moderate off-white head. Fairly nice malty aroma, lightly roasted and nutty notes. Malty, nutty and slightly roasty flavour too, a slight fruity acidity. Okay, and probably better fresh.
