Poured into a nonic a deep burnt orange with a large fluffy slight off white head that held pretty well,downhill from there.Aromas of caramel and some char,a off soapy aroma comes into play as well.Flavors start big and caramelly sweet with some underlying toastiness and then a real funky finish that has some soapiness and sourness that shouldnt be there.Sorta unpleasant on the palate,to me a clunker of a beer from Magic Hat.

Catch up rating from notes, 2012: Bottle from sampler pack. Light copper pour, head dissipates to nothing. Aroma is grainy, light fruity notes, smidgen of hops. Taste is more of the malts, some odd sweetness, citric notes. A bit odd for the style.

Not much in the aroma department. faint fruit, hops.
Light Copper Color; zero head.
Notes of raisin and something sourish, maybe grapefruit, slight alcohol finish, despite being only 5.4%.

Not bad, but not what I expected.

This pours a clear, amber color with a slight head. The aroma is malty with a touch of spice. The taste is fairly thin, light and easy drinking. There is a sweet, malty flavor as expected with this brew. Pretty decent, much better than the rating would suggest.
