Bottle (courtesy of Presario): Poured a dark brown color ale with a small head with very minimal retention. Aroma of strong malt with some roastiness and caramel. Taste is also dominated by the strong roasted malt with some nice hops that lends a hoppier finish. Body is quite full for a brown ale but overall this kind of lack carbonation. Good for the style but seems to be missing something to be truly great.

Foamy persistent head. The color is quite impressive, almost opaque amber dark purple. The smell is very nice, yeasty, with lots of red fruits, I'd say sweet strawberries. The first impression in the taste is of sweet red fruits, and it's quickly combined with a dark chocolate bitterness. The chocolate thing is less noticeable than in Rogue American Amber Ale for example though. Maybe some caramel in there. The mouthfeel is very enjoyable, round and smooth at first, more rough and powder like after a while. Drinkability is quite good, not that I could have many of these in the same session, but I feel like I wouldn't mind have one every day.

Dark, cloudy brown color with an exceptionally good-looking, smooth tan head. Smell is a candy-sweet strawberry, light whisps of alcohol.

Taste is big red fruits malt character which explodes in the mouth to thick, chunky hoppiness. Afternotes of candy strawberry and alcohol. Dark chocolate comes in as well. A little watery after the initial which I thought added to the drinkability rather than detracting from the mouthfeel, which I thought excellent.

Medium to heavy body. My stomach was heavy after half the glass. Still, I would seek this beer out again.

Sampled on tap at Popeye in Tokyo.

This ale poured a hazy, reddish-brown color with off-white foam that left some lace on the glass. The smell was floral (cascade) hops with a bit of malt. The taste was sweet malt with both floral and bitter hop flavors. Not overly complex, but nice. The mouthfeel was smooth with medium body and carbonation. The aftertaste was hoppy. This was a nicely drinkable ale. Very easy to drink.

Serving type: on-tap
