Tap at 23rd Street. Pours clear tawny with a small, fizzy cream colored head, low retention with light lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (bread, cookie, toasted), average hops (floral, spicy), and light esters (dried fruit). Flavor is heavy malt (bread, caramel, toasted), average hops (floral, spicy), and light esters (dried fruit). Medium body and carbonation, low warmth and creaminess with a dry finish.

On tap at the 2007 Parkville Microbrew Festival. Pours a cloudy amber with a yellow beige head of good size. Has a medium caramel toasted flavor with a big, BIG roasted finish. Not bad.

Sample at the Parkville Microbrewers Festival. Nice red/brown color with some tan head. Nutty aroma with a punch of hops. Toasted malt flavor. Dry with strong bitterness. Really a pretty nice beer.

Draft at the Lawrence brewpub, 7/3/06: Ruddy brown with a decent white head. Nutty and sweet with a caramel kick in the pants and a mellow bitter finish.
