22oz bottle pours out amber brown color topped with a sand head. Nose is super cardboard and caramel. Taste is more of the cardboard cardboard and newspapers.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber with a small off white head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is oak vanilla and caramel. Thin mouthfeel with a sweet caramel malt and a bit watery. A decent Irish ale from Rust Belt.

Deep brick read with minimal head. Candied caramel malts, dark fruits, and a bit of toasted malt in the aroma. Medium, syrupy body. Flavor has plenty of sweet malts, dark fruits, crackers, light nutty. Has the makings of something decent but does not follow through.

A solid Irish Ale. +++ Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a nut brown color with orange highlights and a medium sized creamy tan head that faded quickly and left minimal lacing. The aroma was sweet sugar and faint vague dark fruits with a bready undertone. The flavor was sweet and tangy caramel, honey, cherry and a touch of sherry with a bready undertone and a hint of wood. The finish was medium length sweet caramel,honey and cherry. Medium body and smooth. Pleasant.

22oz bomber split with Anndiesel. Massive gusher, took a long time to get it all out of the bottle. Thick, unfiltered red-brown with a humongous gray head. A pretty solid Red, maybe encroaching into Brown Ale territory a little, some definite nutty tones. Despite the massive gushing open, this is quite a nice example of the style. Medium to full bodied, with some pleasant caramel tones as well. Mellow soapy hop character, nothing special there..to style I suppose. OK.

bottle - Pours mostly clear amber with a huge foamy head. It smells mainly of caramel malt and sure enough tastes of caramel malt. It’s a bit toasty and is very sweet. This medium bodied brew has a little hops in the finish but the sweetness doesn’t really abate. Drinkable if average brew.

Bottle at ChrisOs ’Blue Ridge Mountains Of Virginia’ tasting. Not very Irish, whatever that is, Not great, but ultimately I found it drinkable enough.

22nd May 2010. ChrisOs ’Blue Ridge Mountains Of Virginia’ tasting! Clear brown beer, no real head. Light semi dry palate. Zero carbonation. Light malt and a little minerals. Malty bland mess.
