On draught at Ale House #1. This beer is a murky burnt sienna color with a medium beige head. Thin and sticky lacing. The aroma is really sweet with caramel, brown sugar and malt. Medium-bodied with a nice balance of flavors. Brown sugar and malt are offset by a fair amount of hops. The finish is earthy and is equal parts hops and sweet malt, along with a bit of dark fruit afterftaste. Well done Alt!

Interesting beer. Pours brown with hardly any head. Earthy hop taste with malty undertones. Really upfront hop presence. Great unique beer.

Very dark brown with very little head. Really rich and sweet, but also very bitter. Flavors of caramel and chocolate. Also was very warming on this cold day.
