375mL bottle, pours jet black with a small brown head. Aroma is rich, with lots of dark chocolate, gentle bourbon, dark sugars, and some vanilla. Flavour is rich, with deep dark chocolate, gentle vanilla undertones, and all wrapped up in a wonderful bourbon barrel expression. Wonderfully cohesive, elegant; not brutal at all. Lovely.

Can. I like this beer but when I rate it it seems to score a bit low. Nice but thin in flavor and tast.

Can from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours amber gold with a large foamy white head that laced. Grapefruit wafts from the pour. Along with some mixed tropicals. Med plus body. Juicy but not very sweet. A little bitterness to balance. Flavor is green melon, some citrus that includes grapefruit, and other things. Nice flavor.

Poor gold with a white head. Aroma is fruity with possibly blueberry. Multi but not all that sweet moderately bitter. Flavor has fruits and berries some Belgian yeast spice and a nice amount of bitterness.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated October 14, 2025.
Aroma is malty with lots of toasted breads, crackers and caramel. Hints of cherry, and raisin. Light woody, herbal hop notes with a touch of citrus and pine. Hints of alcohol.
Pours a very clear, amber color with Ruby and auburn hues and a large, thick, pillowy, light tan head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers in clumps on the edges.
Flavor is a bit sweet with toasted breads, crackers and caramel. Hints of cherry and raisin. Fairly high bitterness. Light herbal, woody hop notes with a touch of citrus.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth.
Overall, a decent amber ale that drinks pretty well. It's a bit on the bitter end but has nice malt complexity and lighter hop notes that work well with the malt profile. Alcohol is well hidden behind the malt notes and bitterness.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated August 12, 2025.
Aroma is malt forward with lots of caramel notes from the crystal malt along with some notes of honey, raisin and cherry. Medium light grapefruit pith and pine resin hoo notes. Light notes of alcohol.
Pours a fairly clear, amber color with auburn hues and a touch of brown and a medium large, thick, pillowy, tan head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers. Fairly high amount of lacing and small legs.
Flavor is somewhat sweet with fairly strong notes of caramel and lighter notes of honey, raisin cherry and a slight nuttiness. Medium high bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderately strong hop notes of grapefruit pith and dank, pine resin.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth.
Overall, a fine American Red Ale. It's certainly not a style I would reach for; in fact I have no idea how long it's been since I had one. But this is well balanced and a change of pace when one consistently drinks either lighter or darker malts.
