Clear dark copper to umber in color with a modest head of ecru bubbles. Fairly thin aromas with light toffee and fruit and just a hint of floral hops. Dry malt flavors from the start. Dark caramel and whole wheat dough are met quickly and abruptly with an earthy bitterness. Dry herbs and roots take over the finish and linger causing a little bit of a metallic feel . Another amber that does little for me.

On draught at the Appleton Fratellos, River Mall location. Pours a semi-clear dark copper amber with a creamy off-white head that has some nice retention and excellent lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, a touch of apple, flowery hops, toffee and some dark pitted fruits. Taste is medium bodied, some carbonation with flavors of caramel malt, apples, toffee and some flowery hops. Finish has a mild bitterness and some toffee/apple aftertaste.
