On draught at the brewpub in Birdsview, Washington. Pours a clear light copper amber brew with a creamy fast dissolving white head that leaves behind some spotty lacing and a thin white ring. Aroma of roasted caramel malt, a touch of roasted nuts, toffee, brown sugar and some light maple syrup. Taste is medium bodied, very little carbonation with flavors of caramel malt, sweet toffee, and very light flowery hops. Finish has a light maple syrup and caramel bread aftertaste that slowly disappears.
