Not bad. Lovely malty brown pour. Big malts and heavy body. Little hops on the finish. Very bready and sweet. Thanks HBJ!

Can. Nice copper color with a low head. Aroma of rich dark malts, lots of caramel, and a touch of chocolate. Flavor is malty, rich in caramel, with a bit of chocolate and also a touch of dark fruits, especially cherries, and especially later in the glass as it warmed. Body and carbonation are canonical alt. a bit sweet, but not overly so, the overall impression is rather dry, although the finish is rather bland. No real trace of hops. Enjoyable and well-made alt, straight in the tradition, although I found it started to bore me by the end, which was disappointing because I really liked it at the beginning.

Pours amber orange...decent head. Aroma is moderate vanilla and fruit juice...sweet malt...way more alcohol than expected. Flavor is a bit like orange and a some malt...a little bit of chemical vanilla...very dry from the yeast. Mouthfeel is very watery...could have used a bit more.

Can. Pours amber off-white head. Aroma is orange, yeast, malt; very sweet. Flavor is malt, earth, slight anise.
