Great for the whole family? Even the kids? Sampled at the brewpub. Pours a hazy brownish red with a small head and decent retention and lacing. Taste begins with an assertive hoppiness and caramel and nuts in the finish. Thin bodied.

Draft @ Awful Arthur’s. Pours dark amber with a decent off-white head. Very little on the nose, just a hint of malts. Flavor is very sweet with notes of caramel and nuts. A hint of hops towards the finish. Too sweet for my liking.

Tap at Awful Arthur’s. Pours clear brown with a medium, creamy white head, medium retention with good lacing. Aroma is nutty and caramel malt, light fruity esters, and light earthy hops. Flavor is malt dominant with medium bitter hops and a dry finish. Medium body and carbonation, low warmth.

On draft at Angry Arthurs. Pours brown from tap. Not much on the nose and no nuttiness on the tongue. Another bland inoffensive beer here.
