Half liter pours clear copper with gold edges and 20 second off white head. The modest aroma has sweet caramel and a touch of dark fruity esters and maybe faint blunted pine hops. The taste offers up plenty of caramel followed by mild notes of malty sweetness, some dark fruity esters and then hints of toffee covered biscuits. It seems this $7 purchase has been on the shelf a while.

Bottle from Half Time. Pours hazy light amber with a 3 finger foamy white head. Aromas of wood and hay??? Near medium body with mild carbonation. Flavor is toffee which initially is under a woody (not oaky) and fruity flavor set. Finishes fairly clean, but not very bitter. It’s an interesting and unusual ale. Age? It had a 12/12 on the stickon label. If that’s a date, we’re within it, so it is hopefully what it’s supposed to be. I’ll drink it.

Rich toffee and cereal grain aroma. Clear dark amber, thin yellow head that dissipates slowly. Malty toffee flavor, hay finish. A touch sweet, but not necessarily cloying. Kellerish and medium bodied. Alcohol is well concealed. Enjoyable tick for Argentina.

Bottle. Not bad at all. Pours a dark gold with a thin head. Nose is caramel and sweet malts. Flavor is quite sweet with some decent malt character and faint hints of hops. Notes of grass, earth, and fire. Not kidding, I tasted some smoke, some fire. Medium to light in body and nicely carbonated.

Bottled. A brown beer with an orangey head. The aroma has notes of butter and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of butter and metal as well as lighter notes of bread and cinnamon, leading to a bitter finish. The alcohol leaves a slight burn in the mouth.

Bottle from Wine and Cheese Place in (near) St. Louis, MO. Pours a copper amber color with a decent foamy tan head. Aroma of sweetish roasted caramel. Medium body with creamy/frothy carbonation. Flavor is sweetish caramel, lightly roasted, with a very little fruit or floral hop. If it was a bit less sweet, it might pass for an ESB. Drinks well, needs a tad more bitter.

Bottle. Orange body (this is a red ale?) with a fizzy, yet small, head. Aromas are caramel and maple... that’s about it. Flavor is maple, caramel and sugar with little else to offer. Not quite to the point of being cloying, but not very well balanced.
