This one courtesy of ericandersnavy. Thanks man! Pours clear reddish copper with a slight beige head. The nose is big on malt and fruit. Sort of red berry. No heat issue. Full bodied with mildly frothy carbonation. Flavors are like plum, berry, honey, spice, malt, and I bet I could imagine more. It’s fairly complex. Heat is barely detectable. Rather like a not so sweet mead.

Location: Draft at the Fells Point Brew Pub, 9/6/09
Aroma: The nose on this one is fairly spice and wheaty
Appearance: It pours a clear golden looking color
Flavor: Spice and wheat malts with some light earthy hops
Palate: This one has a smooth mouthfeel and light-medium body
Overall Impression: This is a decent White, though not an overly exciting beer. I have to admit, it isn't one of my favorite style, so I might not be the best one to judge off of, but I did like it somewhat.

Bottle, big thanks to Ericandersnavy. Pours with a brown body and a tan head. Aroma of dark fruits, sherry, floral notes and honey. Taste is still quite sweet with caramel, honey and marmalade. Syrupy mouthfeel with a really sweet finish. Surprised that it is this big, with so much residual sugar and still carbonated. Not sure that it is really as big as it claims to be.

Aroma: Lots of coffee, roasted malts, and a little licorice
Appearance: A dark black pour, with a beige head
Flavor: Similar to the nose, a nice malty flavor on this one
Palate: This one has a pretty nice mouthfeel
Overall Impression: Overall I liked this beer. It was one of the better things I got to try at DuClaw. Its not the greated stout out there or anything, but it is quite tasty and worth getting if you are in the Baltimore area and are able to swing by one of their locations.

Overall Impression: This was a pretty average IPA, not great, not bad. Something you could drink no problem, but not something you'd go out of your way for. Try this one at DuClaw as you are sitting outside enjoying the view.

Aroma: Lightly fruity and yeasty/grain nose
Appearance: Clear golden beer, small head
Flavor: Light grain and malt flavor, bit of fruit
Palate: Light in body, pretty thin and mild
Overall Impression: Not a bad beer, just not a ton of character. A decent enough blonde, I guess, just not totally exciting.
