look: 2.75 | smell: 2.75 | taste: 3 | feel: 2.75 | overall: 2.75
Dark amber/cola color with a minimal foamy tan head that doesn't last.
The aroma is caramel, prunes and alcohol with hints of dry hay and cardboard.
The taste is burnt caramel, brown sugar, prune juice, sweet fruitcake and cardboard with a sweet but peppery finish.
The body is medium, fairly smooth but sticky sweet.
Altogether, this is a passable winter warmer due to alcohol content, just a bit cloyingly sweet for warm weather. Could be great for Halloween.

Ok second beer from this brewery. Against all odds i liked their Boss Beer!
This was purchased at American Market in Salem OR
$3.99..500 ml
Actually not a bad looking beer in my dimpled mug. Clear amber body with a nice beige head. Leaves good lace also.
Aroma is richly malty. Toffee, fudge and brown sugar.
Again the taste is rich malts, but is ruined by a weird out of place ultra sweetness( i think they added sugar to boost the alc volume).
Mouthy feel is smooth mostly, but because of the added sweetness becomes cloying.
Overall what could have been a perfectly nice malty beer became a chore because of added sugar just tpo boost the alc content. Leave it at 6% and i bet this would be a nice beer.

Copper colored, listed as a Belgian style dark ale. But the beer is unbalanced--very malty, becoming cloyingly sweet and generally unsatisfying. A healthy 8.2% abv, but even the strong buzz doesn't make you feel better about the experience.

This brewery seems to specialize in strong ales with a gimmick. This one is a hazy, orange-amber color with a thin white head. The aroma has over-ripe fruit, alcohol, burning caramel, and maybe a little malt. Sweet, but not as much as I had feared. Medium body, some warmth. This is really not a good beer.

16.9 oz, bottle:

Pours orange-tinted brown with a thin bubbly head. Minimal lacing.

The smell is of caramel and alcohol.

The taste is of caramel with a hint of bubblegum and some orange marmalade. Peppery alcohol shows throughout.

Medium bodied, it's slightly sticky but smooth overall.

A sweet sipper. Caramel comes across a bit too strong.

Beer is a copper amber with no head. Almost looks like cider. Taste is malty, caramelly, dry, and watery. It has resemblance to an Oktoberfest beer but not as tastey. It also has an English cask ale flavor. In all it's a beer based off an old Lithuanian recipe which may have been brewed using hops, barley, yeast, and knowledge of Oktoberfest beers in Germany and Cask ales in England that the brewers just mixed a bunch of ingredients together with no knowledge of what they were brewing and basically brewed up a high potency cask ale Oktoberfest that the beer must be given over a 3 rating on its recipe.
It's a perfect beer to have at the end of Halloween night or beginning to mid November to give a cheers to the end of Oktoberfest marzens and pumpkin beers for the year.

Poured from a 16 OZ bottle into a pint glass. The appearance was a reddish color with a large white head. the aroma was malt and the taste was wretched. Maybe this beer had become contaminated. NOT Good at all.
This was a drain pour.
