3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 hotstuff (3249) - USA - MAR 20, 2008
Draft at Dragonmead.Small tan head that mostly diminished, fair amount of lacing, transparent, and a reddish brown hue. The nose was malty, mildly hoppy and light roasty notes. Ditto for the flavor with a slight roasty flavor.Smooth mouthfeel and medium in body.Quaffable, easy to drink and balanced.Not an overly exciting beer, just okay IMO.

had this a few months ago. poured a nice mahogany with a tan head. aroma, sweet, a nice mixture of honey and chocolate malts with bits of hops poking through . flavor, the chocolate is the first to come out, the honey is not as robust as the aroma which was a little disappointing and a nice hop finish. not to bad

On tap at the brewery. Pours a deep chestnut brown color with a fading tan head. Predominantly malty, earthy, fairly sweet but not necessarily from honey. Medium bodied, some dryness. Decent but not overly exciting.

Tap. Deep brown colored with a fair off-white head. A touch of roasted malt and chocolate in aroma. Thin bodied. Confused in flavor profile. Honey shows a bit more in flavor. I was disappointed with this beer.

on draft. interesting malty and smoky aroma, deep brown with a small tan head. tons of malt, tastes mostly like caramel malts but there is just a tiny hint of some bitterness to keep it in check. some honey spiciness. it feels sticky sweet and coats your mouth like syrup. a good beer.
