Served at Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen in Bedford, TX. Poured a deep yellow with a white head. Aroma of malt and biscuit. Taste was simple malt, biscuit and grass - nothing extraordinary. Tasted good while washing down some awesome oysters and shrimp - not sure if it would make for a great stand-alone drinking brew but it wasn’t a drain pour either.

Aroma of dishwater? Looks nice, clear amber, high carbonation. Kind of bland malt with a touch of bitterness that sticks to the tongue. Overall, I would pass, nothing to see here.

Looks more dark orange than amber. Not much head. Clear and light-looking. Average appearance. Nice sweetened burnt malt. Brown sugary. Almost a mild Scotch ale smell. Toasted barley. Sweet and dry all at once. Striking sharp malt with sweet brown sugar and molasses. Some mild caramel. Like a liquid "Sugar Daddy" candy bar. Sweet but not saccharine. Thick and chunky, chewy feel. Milky and smooth. Really nice on the palate. Very sweet but not *too* sweet. Really well crafted and delicious.

Bottle: Poured an amber color with a white head. The aroma was light malts. The flavor was sweet, hint of malts and fruits. Overall, nothing exceptional but good quality.

bottle, pours light amber with a medium frothy off white head. Aroma is nice with the crystal malt very sweet smelling, some floral hops as well. Sweet doughy malt flavor with a smooth bittersweet malt finish. Not bad.

Draugh, #503. Copper pour, weird aroma. Flavor a bit off, not too good. High chuggability though.

Bottle--Good thing I bought just a single. The beer is orange color with a small head but lots of carbonation. The aroma didn’t, of course there was no aroma. Slight taste of malt and slight sweet taste. Pretty forgetable stuff. In fact I had it the other night and I can barely remember drinking it! Produce Place

On tap at Coasters. Orange pour with a very thin white head. Aroma is just about non-existent; I mean there is nothing there. Flavor of light cherries, roses, and a hint of soap. I really didn’t like this.
