Murky amber. Big, bright caramel nose with white pepper. Caramel malts to the fore with earthy accents and hints of vanilla. Somewhat minerally finish.

Jul 8, 2008 Sample at San Diego Brewing Company. Pours a clear dark amber color with a thin beige head that recedes steadily. Spotty lacing. Aroma of yeast, malt and light peppery hops. Medium-bodied and clean with flavors of yeast, fruit and spices. Sweet caramel malt undertones as well. The finish is spiced with a fruity aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Jun 13, 2008 On tap at SD Brewing Company; poured a really nice reddish color. Aroma was hoppier than expected with a goo amount of caramel malt balance. Flavor wasn’t quite as hoppy, which was a bit surprising based on the aroma. Flavor was good and well balanced. Caramel and toasted malt with some vanillal and spices. A really good version for the style.
