3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sweet butterscotch fruit aroma. Bad label, bronze beer. Bittersweet, moderately peaty, cakey undertones. Medium heavy bittering. Good carbonation from the bottle, medium body. Except for the diacetyl in the aroma, fairly balanced. Bittering builds in the finish over celery and sunflower seed properties in the very end. Thanks to DW for hauling this back and splitting with me.

22oz bomber. Color is lighter than the IPA which I found surprising. Taste is malt through and through with a lingering presenence of toasted nuts of some variety. The head presents itself for a full on malt explosion and the taste draws you in. The earthy undertone brings forth a relaxing state of mind when ingesting slowly. Nice brew.

22oz bottle. Pours a nice hazy light brown with thick head. Not to strong on the nose but its a nice malty smell. Taste is about the same as well, sweet malty, bread like flavor, not too strong but what you do taste is good. Its a decent ESB.
