On tap at the brewpub in Salt Lake City. Another new brew for me from Desert Edge, thanks a ton. Pours a awesome dark chestnut color with a huge beige head. The aroma is mild nutty flavor and a rich toasted malt. The flavor is basically similar; a smooth and soft, but full palate, some toasted malts, a ton of roasted nutty flavors, some light coffee and overall a great example of a very good style. The mouthfeel was just perfect. I love being able to have beers like this one.

(08/2006. Hand-pump draught). A great example of a traditional mild. Sweet, malty aromas predominate with the barest hint of hops back there balancing everything. Unfiltered, deep, murky amber-brown with a tannish head. Deep malty tastes with some hints of oxidation developing (a fault or a character?) ... medium-full bodied, smooth, and with a quickly disappearing aftertaste.

Barrel Draught from the jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 01/10/2005 Amber coloured and smooth on the palate. Slightly dry hoppy finish.

GABF 05. Pours amber with an aroma of malt, chocolate, and coffee. Flavor is slight bitter hops and faint roasted malt. Water palate.

GABF 2004 Light amber in color with a small off-white head. Aroma of fruit and malt. Flavor is malty and caramely sweet.

GABF 2003: Amber/brown color with no head. Caramel aroma, soft (almost flat) mouthfeel, ends lightly sweet.
