Jul 22, 2007 On tap at the Flatlanders Brew Pub. The beer menu has this listed as their Grand ’Crew’. I thought that was funny. Poured a dark brown color with a very small sized off white head. Aromas of wood, smoke, floral, toffee, and nutty. Tastes of chocolate, spices, caramel, nuts, and some wood. Light alcohol in the finish. The best beer I had there today (glad I got the full sized, snifter glass, of it).

Apr 18, 2007 Sampled at AleFest on tap. After several delays this special tapping came at about 3:30, and for free, well i can’t complain too much. Pours a cloudy brown with some gold tints and a light tan head. Very nutty and toasted aroma, not strong or complex but like the rest of it not bad. Smooth and drinkable nutty, toffee, toasted flavors. I do enjoy the smoothness of this a lot and I could enjoy another one of these, but meh i’m losing interest in this.

Apr 16, 2007 They were serving this one gratis at the festival. Thanks. It pours a cloudy dark amber body with an off-white head. The aroma had some toffee, meadow flowers, and an underlying nutty bitterness. It tasted of toasted grains, caramel & toffee, a soft fruitiness, and minced nuts. Not bad. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/events-detail.asp?eve Chicago Area RateBeer Gathering at AleFest, Arlington Heights, IL 4/14/2007.<font size=-1>
