Very good composite yellow-cream head, fast goen over very carbonated, clear red-chestnut beer. Estery, hot-aromatic nose; rainwater small. Grapes or raisins, bit sweet. Thin, and yet bit cloying, somewhat caramel-estery flavour. Some citrus notes, not hoppy. Marzipan-retronasal. Not really well-bodied, thinnish finish. Not undeserving, but it is equally bit lame. Good point: very drinkable for an 8 % beer.

Metallic chestnut colour, little or no head. Vinous nose with fusels, strawberry aroma and sweet-alcoholic smelling. Fusels returning in the flavour; sweet taste with Crème Anglaise, vanilla, alcohol and a vague impression of wood. Very slick, well bodied and rewarding palate. Nice!

Sample at Ale Wine & Spirits in Powell on 04/27/2012. Pours a clear yellow-gold color with a medium thin white head that burns away quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of bready malt and mild hops. Light body with flavors of herbal hops, doughy malt and a touch of fruit. The finish is short with a grainy hops aftertaste. Pretty average overall.

On cask at MacNiven’s in Indy. The beer pours dark brown with a thin beige head that diminishes quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of malt, coffee and caramel. Medium to full body with a roasty malt and coffee character and notes of dark fruits and caramel. The finish is sweet and malty. Above average overall.

On draught at the Rathskeller in Indy. Pours a clear dark amber color with a medium off-white head that diminishes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Caramel malt and hops in the nose. Light-bodied with a toasted malt character and notes of caramel and mild hops. The finish is short and sweet with a malt aftertaste. Pretty straightforward Amber but worth trying just to see the awesome Rathskeller.

Acquired this beer in a trade 2 weeks ago. Stored it in the fridge, poured into a pint glass and enjoyed it out by the river.
A - They were not joking when saying on the can, "A pint in every can." The pour filled my pint glass even on a very slow pour and fell right over the edges. Impressive. 1-Finger head full of only tight creamy bubbles, slightly off white almost like vanilla ice cream. The beer is an SRM of 2.5. Very deep and gorgeous dark golden color border lining on orange.
S - The main reason I’m not a fan of pint glasses is that it’s very hard to get a scent.I’m getting very minimal hops. Mostly sugars and caramel. Almost like sniffing a babe ruth bar if you could imagine that.
T - THIS is a very tasty beer. Wow! Candy corns, caramel, mild hops on the back of the tongue, maple sugar sweetness on the tip of the tongue. It’s a beer that, if solid, woud melt in your mouth. It covers every section and owns it.
M - 90/10 carbonation on the mouth swish. Medium bodied, lingering brown sugar and caramel taste. Mild booziness linger and a slight hint of hops on the finish.
O - This beer is so damn drinkable. It’s not a very easy beer to find. if you see it, grab a couple of cans. I’m regretting only having one of these to drink.

Acquired this as an extra in a trade. Stuck it in the fridge, poured it into a pint glass and enjoyed. Only identifier for age is #396 on the bottom of the can.
A - 3-Finger coffee colored head. This is the exact definition of a creamy head. Very tight bubbles, great head lacing. Very nice.Ale is dark brown to light black. Almost no light gets through.
S - Roasted malts is what I get first followed by caramel and brown sugar. There’s a bit of bready notes to this beer. Reminds me a lot of a Newcastle.
T - Well, this is a very sweet beer. It’s a bit more boozy than I expected. I can taste the alcohol pretty easy. Roasted and Caramel malts, nuttines is there as well, Similar to Newcastle mixed with an Old ale mixed with some Belgian Strong ale. It’s just very very sweet and that’s a turn off.
M - 50/50 carbonation, medium bodied, slipper mouth feel, not dry at all. Lingering caramel and syrup taste.
O - Its an okay beer. I wouldn’t buy or drink this again.
