Location: Sampled at the NY Brewfest on Governor's Island, 6/19/10
Aroma: It has a malty nose, a good amount of caramel, and some bread/toast
Appearance: It pours a brown color with a foamy tan head a top it
Flavor: The taste is quite malty, medium sweet, with minimal hop balance
Palate: A touch on the watery side, with a drinkable feel, and a light-medium body
Overall Impression: My notes on this one mention that my written review was probably too harsh due to the brewfest getting a little out of control and making my mood not as good, but the description/impression of the beer is still reasonably valid, I just wanted to keep a note of what went into this review. This was a decent, malt first beer, but I didn't love it.

Bottle. So for whatever reason, the red chair on the label had me thinking that this would be a light lawnmower beer, so I was surprised to see a pretty brown looking pour. There was just a hint of head and aromas of brown sugar, dates and sundry other dark fruit. Flavor is good enough to make me overcome my desire for pointless lager thirst-quenching. Kind of a mix of the aforementioned sweet notes with an autumnal oak leaf earthiness and bitter chocolate. It’s interesting and I can’t think of another beer quite like it.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark amber color with a large foamy yellow-white head that lingered. The aroma was dry, tangy, a touch spicy and faintly skunky. The flavor was dry, spicy and tangy with a touch of yeast and a bitter dry finish. Basic and boring.

Location: Draft at Hop Devil, 5/3/10
Aroma: The nose has some rye, honey, some sweetness, and grains/malts
Appearance: This one is mostly clear with an amber-orange color to it
Flavor: The taste is dull sweetness, bready/malty, and a touch of honey
Palate: The body is light-medium, average carbonation, and relatively short duration
Overall Impression: Overall I wasn't really impressed with this one. The flavor is a bit dull in addition to feeling just a little bit off. It certainly isn't terrible, and I drank the whole glass, but I certainly wouldn't rush out to order it again.

On tap at Lake Placid Pub & Brewery. After 9 hours of hiking up to summit of Mt Marcy I was in desperate need of a beer. Pours dark reddish brown with a thin head. taste is of strong malt, with some smoke and slightly bitter. Palate is slightly sticky but overall quite enjoyable.
