Wafting chocolate nosing finds loud honey piquancy and slick malt slope for deviant red ale. Neither as rich nor as creamy as dark appearance would indicate so up-front mocha essence never sustains and there’s little to no spice bite. Brewery defunct: 2006.

Efficient wood-chipped barley roast takes hold as effective butterscotch-caramel malt sweetness soothes. Cloudy reddish yellow hue matches blossoming orange citrus backdrop and softest spiced hops. A bit tender for true Irish-styled brew so serve to serious Pale Ale fans instead.

Elaborate sienna-hazed dry body retains woody IPA suggestion. Sweet rye-toasted caramel malt ratio remains low against resinous piney hop bittering, but juicy red apple-peach-nectarine tang gains prominence, balancing bitter grapefruit rind, juniper, and pine nut sharpness. Only its slick buttery finish distracts fruity frolic.

Subtly complex amber garnet-hued ale brings assertively tangy red apple, pear, cherry, peach, pineapple, and nectarine sweetness to loud grapefruit souring. Creamy caramelized malts and sugary spruce succulence re-enforce fruity nature overriding impending alcohol-burned piney-hopped bitterness.

Unlike typical moderate-bodied Mexican lagers, richer raw-honeyed grain-embedded ruddy-hued ale maintains bitterer backbone, plying earthen barley-hopped parch to profuse pumpernickel-rye toasting. But vegetal off-taste depletes leftover Graham Cracker sweetness as harshly oxidized ethanol finish unfolds.

Peculiar red ale brings honey-malted candied apple sweetness to orange-dried grassy-hopped vegetal astringency. Brown ale-like backdrop contrasts sweet hazelnut against dry walnut, but deeper fruited penetration needed.

Rich mocha persistence and mellow chocolate creaminess consume mud-thickened coffee-stained ebony ‘Wild Irish’ rogue (with the light brown head). Ashy tar-like residue and bitter charred hops counter silken oak dryness while excellent spring water provides lovely crisp vibrancy. Strong coffee-tinged aftertaste compares favorably to Guinness Stout (minus some bitterness).

Pleasing moderate-bodied ale perfect lawnmower fodder. Toasted caramel-chocolate malts rise above soft hop spicing and subtle marzipan-chestnut trail. Phenol undercurrent afflicts iced tea illusion, cherry skin esters, and nectarine tinge.

Heavily carbonated rust-toned beige-headed ale brings sweet barleywine spirit to creamy malt extract and rich milky sinew, preserving multi-dimensional vibrancy. Perfume-wafted clove spicing fortifies delicate burgundy finish. Compare favorably to dark German Wheat Ales.

Fermented with syrupy honey extract, bittersweet rust-hued ale dangles barley biscuit above paltry chocolate malt backdrop and sinewy yeast murk. Accrued acidity cheapens its resolve. Expectant orange blossom honey difficult to locate by indistinct finish.

Medium-bodied amber juxtaposes caramel malt sweetness and toasted barley singe against earthen hop spicing and autumnal fruit esters. Minor yeast particles thicken busybody.

Thin honey-toned red ale languishes through mild phosphate delineation before blanched crystal malt sweetness, roasted barley crisping and floral piquancy lamentably block walnut-dried black cherry adjunct.
