3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Deep amber color, thin head with minimal lacing. Thin palate. Bready/yeasty aroma and slightly sweet flavor; hints of sourdough and caramel. Rich, satisfying, but somewhat heavy. Very good. [BM 12]

UPDATED: FEB 24, 2008 Pours a thick amber brown, with a large tan head. Tastes were of malts, roastiness, caramels, and hazelnut. Light amount of hopiness to finish. One of my favorite brews.

Rerate 2/24/08: Draft: Pours golden with a large white head. Nose is malty and earthy, light florals and bits of toffee. Flavor is earthy and malty. Roasty tones and nuttiness. Still one of my go-to brews when the pickins are slim.

This alt beer sets up with a deep amber color woth a medium head. It shows nice notes of sweet malt on the nose and then within the palate the malt brings some denseness along with the floral notes of the hops. It finishes with quite a blanced impression.

Bottled. Amber color, weak head. Sweet and mellow aroma, slightly caramelly, nice bisquity maltiness. Mellow flavor wit good toasted bisquity character. Light bitterness. Good malt backbone but falls short on bitterness.

Bottled. Poura a clear coppery amber with a tan head. Sweet malt, honey and yeast in the aroma with a mild hint of floral hops. The flavor is sweetly nutty toffee. Quick finish of fruit and a touch of bitterness. Super-sessionable.

Aroma is a nice caramel like malt scent. Color is a slightly hazy brown with good carbonation and a thin head. Taste is sweet and malty. Starting with a medium body it goes down with a smooth creamy feel. Finish comes on with a malty mouth feel that turns sweet and ends with a mild bitterness. Its a nice malty brew that comes off easy and well balanced.

Pours amberish, with a mild head. Flavor is malty, with a nice dose of citrus. Aroma is mostly malty, much of the same. A very refreshing drink, and good beer overall. Nice with a meal, etc.
