I also tried their Black Chocolate Stout and was similarly underwhelmed. And their Oktoberfest was plain terrible. <BR/><BR/>I really got the impression that they tasted mass produced, though I wasn't sure, b/c it didn't use to taste this way--or maybe my palette has become more sophisticated. Who knows. <BR/><BR/>Although like you said, they get a certain amt of respect as far as mass produced beer goes, and they've been able to penetrate dive & sports bars so I don't have to resort to drinking bud anymore.

I have to give them credit because they are a massive commercial brewery that introduced "better" beer to the masses. To be honest I feel like I can still taste the fact that it is mass produced. If you like red ale and want to try a good one, try Rouge's Red Ale (pictured in the post). That is a good one.
