On tap at Equinox poured a clear reddish amber with a lingering ring of amber foam. Aromas of carmel, fruittiness and light earthiness. Palate was light bodied and smooth. Flavors of carmel, earthiness and light toffee with a smooth lingering carmel finish.

Pour on tap at the brewery, clear red pour with thin off white head, aroma brought notes of slight metal, caramel, hints of grass and spice, toasted malts with a touch of earth. Taste was a mix of earthy and grass hops, touch of toasted bread, caramel, and metallic notes, finish fairly sweet.

On a recent trip to Fort Collins with friends, we had the opportunity to try this one on tap at the brewery. Poured a reddish-copper color with a dirty white head. Aromas of toasted malt and caramel. On the palate, this one was medium bodied, with flavors of toasted malt, caramel and toffee.

UPDATED: APR 21, 2012 On tap @ brewery. Amber brown appearance with an off white head. Nutty, toffee, roasty caramel malty nose. Toffee, light espresso, hazelnut, toasty, caramel malty flavor. Toasty toffee aftertaste. Great session beer.
