    Nice beer, however I'm docking it points because half of it overflowed itself out of the bottle for a good solid 5 minutes. Once the smoke cleared it had a substantial amount of body. Fresh and fruity, particularly apples and some pear. Caramel, biscuit and cinnamon flavours. Aroma has some spices and definately hops all the way through. I'd like to try it again next time when it doesn't explode out of the bottle.

    Overly-carbonated bottle foamed out 3/4 of the bottle until I poured it and it settled. Tastes sweet like candy, smells the same. The color is dark hazy red orange partly cloudy. Sweet beer, it's okay.

    Bottle from theisti. Poured a big amber-reddish color with a thick body, plenty of carbonation. The aroma was strong caramel and some tea bags. The flavor followed strong full caramel malt body/base with big tea bags, the hops somewhat drowned out by the big maltiness, which was overwhelming and unfortuantely featureed one of my leaste favorite elements in beer: tea bags. Oh well, thanks, Tim, much appreciated!

    12 oz bottle. Pours a slightly hazy reddish amber with hardly any head at all.

    The aroma is sweet caramel malt, toffee and some hops.

    The flavor is some sweet caramel malt with a pretty big metallic bitterness. It tastes a little vegetal. The mouthfeel is medium and watery with almost no carbonation.

    Overall, some off notes make this a slightly substandard hoppy amber.

    Very nice lookin amber in my pint shaker. Amber with red trints with a nice sized bubbly/frothy tan head, that goes fas but leaves nice laceing. A very "caramel" aroma to this one almost to the point of butteryness actually quite inviting. Again I liked the malty/toffee sweet flavour of this only broken up by a hint of bitterness as the mouthful vanishes down the throat. Nice on the palte, sweet but not sickeningly so. I liked this beer a nice laid back sweet amber!

    Deep red color. Med to large sized white foamy head. Aroma is malty and sweet. a touch floral. A medium bodied amber. Malts are caramel, fruity and sweet. Hops are grapefruity and piney. Somewhat bitter. Another in the class of a big %^#?$*# “Imperial” Ambers that have been appearing lately. Lots of malts, lots of hops, yet its still most definitely an amber. Nice balance. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is bitter
