Bomber from a Safeway in Lynwood, WA. Pours dark brown with a slight head. Aroma is very lightly malty and spicy. Med body. Flavor is roasty malty, mildly xmas spicy, or maybe it’s hop spice; touch of chocolate. Approaches dry, and is decently bitter. Ok drink.

Draft pour at Frankies pizza. Pours a dark amber color with a short fizzy head. Dark malt aroma with light, sweet fruit. Sweet malt flavor. Almost a grape flavor hidden in there too. Sweet, nutty finish. Decent, very drinkable winter beer. Good stuff.

Draft pour. Pours a fizzy copper color with a lasting head. Really wet bitter hop aroma. I would say I have had this beer more often then any other beer, and there is a simple reason. It’s often available, and it’s really good. Sweet and bitter flavors throughout with a hoppy finish. Enjoyed this one for years. Good stuff.

Dark amber color with compact head. Light smoke aroma. Lean flavor of caramel, almost biscuity, with a very interesting wet smoke character; strong bitterness.
Don’t expect a typical Scottish Ale, this is a very good Smoked beer.

Cloudy golden color with creamy head. Strange Ale, a bit biscuity and fruity (pear), with correct bitterness.
Linear and pleasant.

Deep copper and amber coloured body with a hint of ruby-tinted brown as well, all with a thinnish, two centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, toasted malt, alcohol and a bit of nuts. Medium-bodied; Rich flavour of toasted malt, alcohol, grain, rye, nuts and heaps of caramelised sugars - very nice and pungent. Aftertaste shows a big malt character with hints of nuts and rye and some subtle sweetness to finish it off. Overall, a nice beer for the style with a little sweetness at the end - very rich as well. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 30-March-2014 for US$3,99 sampled at home in Washington on 19-August-2014.

22oz Bottle shared with no one, drank on 7th July 2014 at mt daughters place in Newport Beach CA. Not like any other ’Vienna Style Ale’ I have come across before. Poured a hazy orange with a scummy white head, the sediment keen to get out the bottle. Slight malty sweetness followed by a sour off-ish sort of aroma and taste: infected yeast or something? Tried to enjoy it, but failed.

On tap at the GJBF in Osaka 2014. A clear deep copper color. It has a somewhat musty resinous hoppy pungent nose. Well balanced though bitter and while not complex it is satisfying as all hell .
