on tap-pours a thin light tan head and copper/red color. Aroma is medium malt-chocolate/caramel/peat, nutty. Taste is medium malt-chocolate/caramel, peat/smoke, nutty, metallic hops. Semi dry.

From draught sample at the brewpub. This one has a light bitter nutty aroma, with just a hint of coffee and toasted grain. Neutral fruitiness. Light amber-brown clear, with thin off-white lacing head. Medium watery body with medium carbonation. Not sure what’s going on with this one; there’s a nice malty component with roasted grain and nutty character. Even a bit of light coffee. But, there seems to be a heavy hand of tannic bitterness here, along with overbrewed tea and some heavy oxidation. Light sweet alcohol taste at the very end, with mild nutty finish.

pours a clear red/orange shade of medium brown with a thin off white head which fades to leave a film. faint aroma of caramel, toasted nuts, coffee and a light fruitiness. the flavor is definitely nutty and toffee toasted nearly to the point of being burned. dry finish with coffee and nuts exploding in the aftertaste. medium body well done and very quaffable...

Clear, medium cherrywood brown-red. Thin filmy-beady head. Cereal aroma. Cereal, grassy nut flavor, lightly tart, medium-light sweetness with a roasty underpinning. Medium-heavy mouth, roasty, tart finish. Kudos to the brewmaster, well done.
