Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

A nice, average beer. Looks darker than it tastes, pours a lovely dark-reddish amber. I was able to drink many of these in a night and not tire of them. Very common taste thought, slightly bitter aftertaste, but not harsh at all.
Pours a clear, light red amber, thin white head. Not a whole lot going on, sweet malt, some nuttiness, kind of thin. Definitely not a bad beer, but not worth the "premium" price some places ask for this.
UPDATED: JAN 7, 2006 this brew had a nice a strong start but the finish was weak. the brew makes you feel like youre in a tank filled with chocolate.
