[1] Review by kinger from North Canton, OH, USA who has tried this beer many times. (9/5/2008 8:31:27 PM)
"An underrated brewer who puts out some great tasting brews, I'm so glad to see Geary's products popping up in my area from time to time. This beer is exceptional and made for a great introduction into the forthcoming Autumn season. Fruity aroma with a thick malt aroma coupled by mixed berries, caramel, and vanilla. Amber-brown color with a nice sized khaki head and adequate lacing. Full bodied and lively on the palate. Sweet and bitter, very clean finish. A moderate sipper with a dark fruity aftertaste. Nothing extreme, but this is very well made. Supremely comforting with robust flavors of nuts, toast, biscuits, toffee, and vanilla. Creamy with a nice floral hop bitterness. Fruity backbone consisting of minor citrus hints and mixed berries. Awesome find, hope to stumble across another six pack in the near future."

"Fourth of a mixed case bought 29 Apr 07 at TW&M's moving sale.7% abv. Pours a clear bronze, with zero lace. Features a sweet, malty smell over alcohol undertones. Malty taste has nice caramel notes. Nice and strong in aroma, flavor, and mouthfeel. Very bitter back-bite. A nice ESB-type ale. "

"The last beer of the championship evening (vball), this one poured with a weak head and weak lacing. The aroma was light chocolate, caramel, and a touch of spice. The flavor was more caramel sweetness than anything else, no spices like the aroma seemed to hint, and the finish was lightly hopped, leaving a dry earthy note on the tongue. Somewhat boring, at least it as 1.69 vs. the 1.89 per bottle price of the other two Gearys."

[5] Review by jde123 from Philadelphia, PA, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (3/22/2006 8:02:07 PM)
"Perhaps I didn't realize the actual amount of alcohol in this beer when I drank two in a row fairly quickly before I ate dinner. That was interesting. The label gives nothing away for this one, I didn't even know the style. However, it does pour up a rich brown, lots of malts, quite tasty, in fact. Good stuff, this one."
