Light, and I mean light toasty sweet aroma. Pours amber-ish with no head at all. Looks somewhat stagnant. Tastes stagnant too. A mild sweetness, and an off funky flavor that was not necessarily that enjoyable. Kind of a lingering off mouth feel, but not much finish or anything going on with this one.

Draft at the brewpub. Dark burnished amber, slim tan rim. Neutral-ish nose with a bit of sweat and nuts there. Watery light body, with more sweaty nuts on the mid-palate. No finish. <sigh> Many, many Tacoma pub crawl beers are going wrong in depressingly similar ways.

On tap at Engine House #9 in Tacoma, WA--Amber bodied with a sticky malty caramel nose. Mild fruitiness with a gnarley nuttiness. Missing that special something to make it quaffable. Maybe it was a butterscotch infection. Watery dull, gross finish. Not good.

Draught @ Brew Pub Tacoma. Amber pour. Sweet malty nose. There is some butterscotch dyactel going on in this brew but it compliments the profile. Low bitterness and a bit of biscuit.

on tap-pours a thin off white head and amber color. Aroma is sweet medium malt, medium fruit. Taste is sweet medium malt, medium fruit, yeast, nutty. Mild carbonation.

This one was really bad. The smells was off, lactose sour. Put you ansty from the beginning. Taste is little better. Got soured wronlgy, seems contaminated. Very bad.

Tap - Brewery
A deep aber color with a nice malty aroam this was the best of the beers here at the Brewery. The beer had a deep amber flavor with good use of malts and hops. Not bad.
