An Irish style red ale that is full of malty characteristics. Brewed with a touch of chocolate malt and an abundance of roasted barley, this beer is rich and robust.

Not a beer I enjoyed. Has a cough syrup-esque after taste. Not much else to say.

Solid red ale, it does have a slight metallic tang to it, but otherwise it was an enjoyable drink. I actually found this to be, for the most part very enjoyable.

Pours a deep dark burgundy almost brown, nice two finger tan head that laces well.
Aroma is big on chewy malt, a deep rich malty Irish red hints of peat, chocolate and fruity notes.
Taste is nice like the nose just a rich malty brew, touches of peat, chocolate and plum notes, like a good rich amber brew this would go good with some Shepherd's Pie.
Mouthfeel is a big side of medium with medium carbonation.
Overall just a good malty amber ale. Would have this as a regular amber if it was available in my area, solid brew.
