4.03/5 rDev -1.9%

Pours a very nice transparent ruby colored body with copper hues beneath the half inch tan head that slowly dissolves to leave a scattered lacing around the glass.

Sweet fruity and caramel malt notes rise from the glass as well as earthy hops, a touch of peppery spice, and yeast.

The flavor offers more sweet malt, nutty and caramel, with a woody hop bite, and just a hint of dark fruit like cherries.

Medium to fuller in body with generous carbonation and a biting hop finish.

As advertised, this beer has tons of character and is great for a cool autumn night.

Served in a snifter.

A - Deep amber hue with a large ivory head. Head reminds me of a Belgian Quad and leaves fair lacing.

S - Warm hops, light booze, caramel, pepper and some grapefruit.

T - Warmth from the booze throughout, hop bitterness is high for a red while other flavors are overshadowed by the presence of pepper. Finishes dry.

M - Medium body with moderate carbonation.

O - Reminds me of a tamed, slightly thin, Arrogant Bastard. Not a huge fan of either brew.
