Amber pour with light brown head. Sweet malty nose. Flavor is slight nutty with good bit of caramel. Medium body with very light carbination. A few hops on the clean finish.

Sample at the 2nd annual Montana Brewers festival. slightly hazy amber. Aroma of mostly grain. Taste is not very imperial tasting to me, mostly grain again and caramel.

Draft sample at brewpub. Poured a clear reddish brown color with an average frothy off-white head that was mostly lasted and had very good lacing. Good roasted malty and small earthy hop aroma. Medium body with slick smooth texture and soft carbonation. Moderate well balanced smooth flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Good complex brew.

Draft at taphouse; Pours a deep reddish brown with a large creamy head. Nose is earthy and roasy, some bits of rye. Rye remains in the flavor with a more hoppy center and a bit of roasted malts. Kind of sweet, yet dry and piney.

Growler poured a clear reddish amber with a small lingering light amber head. Aromas of carmel, light fruittiness and a hint of earthiness. Palate was medium bodied and crisp with a smooth finish. Flavors of fruittiness, carmel, light pine and a hint of earthiness with a smooth lightly sweet malty finish.

Sampled on draught at the brewpub in downtown Billings, Montana. Pours a clear caramel amber brew with a thick and lumpy off-white head that has good retention and lacing. Aroma of sweet multi-grain bread doughy malt, flouwery hops with some toffee, and a touch of pineapple. Taste is medium to fully bodied, light carbonation with a thick bready malt flavor. Finish is soft, very light bitterness with a bread-like aftertaste. One of the most flavorable amber ales this side of the Mississippi River.
