Aug 18, 2008 On cask at steam plant grill in Spokane. Highly enjoyed this offering...nice lingering, roasty finish...to match a hefty malt character, easy drinking. Simple, straight forward, but enjoyable.

Nov 11, 2007 Light brown with minimal head. Aroma is light nut and some brown bread. Slightly sweet with a touch of roasted flavour. Thinner and quite basic.

Sep 15, 2007 Updated: Sep 23, 2007From Spokane Steamplant taproom, cask version. Aroma is roast malt forward followed by woody notes, vanilla, nuttiness but no toast character. Appearance is medium/dark brown with a very low off-white head. The flavor is simple with bready roast malt, no hop character, and very smooth. Mouthfeel has very low texture with no carb feel, warm, very creamy. Overall, a strong, simple, good brew.
From Spokane Steamplant taproom, draught version. Aroma is toast, nut, bread, low caramel, light dark fruit and no hop character. Appearance is a clear copper brown with a good off-white head. Flavor is medium sweet malt forward followed by some carbon and cream flavors with low/med bittering and some nuttiness. Mouthfeel is medium/low bodied with a low spritzy carb feel. Overall, the hop character is a bit too low for the style, but it’s still a good beer and easy drinking. A must try for someone who loves all-malt beers.

Jul 13, 2007 Fourth stop during the ABA Beer Tour ’07 in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Sampled on tap at the downtown brewpub. Pours a dark cola caramel color with a creamy off-white head that slowly dissolves with good retention. Aroma is complex with scents of molasses, maple syrup, flowery hops and creamy toffee. Taste is light to medium body, lightly carbonated with a light porter style character. Finish is lightly bittersweet and metalic.
