Fruit and hop aromas. Mid brown coloured and very fruity with a crisp and slightly dry nutty malt finish. jcwattsrugger (3942), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Oct 26, 2007 on tap-pours a bubbly light tan head and cloudy brown color. Aroma is chocolate-dark malt, yeast. Taste is chocolate-dark malt, yeast, some caramel/coffee, faint hops. BBB63 (3801), La Porte, Indiana, USA Apr 19, 2004 Medium brown with reddish hues that produced a small off-white head and some lace. The aroma hints of toffee, nuts, wildflowers, sundued fruits (current and plums), smoke, and dusty yeast esters. Smoky and malty tastes upfront with some sweet nutty sublime tones. Coffee and bitter finish, the smoky character lingers. Quaffable, no bad qualities but nothing too bold either.
