Bottle...thanks to backforty. Pours a nice clear brown color with a small mostly white head. Aroma starts with a nice dose of honey and caramel, followed by a lightly yeasty and bready note. Flavor is loaded with nice honey notes, caramel, very light hops and a small alcohol warmth. Good beer for a style that is usually botched.
