Sep 22, 2007 Tasted 9/10/07. Growler from the brewpub. Filtered with a hue that tapers from amber to golden. Spotty white head. Slight citrus and bready aromas. Mild to medium bodied. Bright and citrusy and slightly soapy. Off dry with subtle fruity nuances. Peppery hops. Good woody sticky flavor. Solid.

Jun 8, 2006 <!-- i -->Draft<!-- /i -->: Beaming copper. Dusty-white foam nestles into a thin, but creamy, layer of rockiness. Balanced aniseed, lemon cake, and bread crust aromas. Inkling of minerals and buttered caramel. Coarse carbonation. Seductively soft wave of toffee-drizzled hay and bready Munich immediately takes foothold and allays the initial graininess. Spicy hops punctuate the vividly defined toastiness of the malt, with a scratchy bitterness. Flash of acidity arises, but due to the rich malts, it doesn’t detract. Juicy kiss of floral hops and deliciously sweet pockets of caramelized sugar lie sandwiched within. Multilayered malts possess more than enough fluffiness to soften the body’s minerally firmness. Complementary salty bitterness is enhanced by a well-established blend of banana nut bread and vibrant malt flavors. The aroma isn’t the cleanest, but the purity and extraction of the malts make this a standout.

May 28, 2006 Tap - My new favorite although I haven’t tried them all yet. Poured a dark amber with a little head. Tasted really good with a hint of caramel.

May 13, 2006 Draft pint at the brewpub, 5/11/06: Big malty aroma. Dark and shiny red-amber with a thin cloudy head. Caramel malt started it off, finishing with a tangy apple-bite. Almost a pinch of smoky peat there somewhere? All quite subtle; a pretty mellow drinker.
