thedm (3407), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA Nov 14, 2005 This draft brew from the brewery poured a small sized head of tan colored fine to medium sized mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a fair lacing and a transparent brown colored softly carbonated body. The aroma was mild malty with nutty brown malt notes and the mouth feel was initially smooth and tingly with a malt hop brown malt bite in the finish.
