Historical Community Tasting Notes

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

Poured a murky red, with little head, mild alcohol taste, nothing overwhelming, I think the alcohol is perfect in this one! Fruity, dark fruits, hopped well enough too. A slight dark sugar taste, very nice flavor! Thanks to Duane for this wonderful brew!
12oz bottle. Hazy, dark red "velvet" hue. Bone white head. Anise and raisiny, plum nose. Creamy caramel and lingering cloying sticky malt flavor.
much better than the third coast ale, dark brown, great caramel malt balance with enough hops for a great taste
