On tap at the Gingerman in Dallas. The smell is caramel, hops, sweet, and malts. The look is clear, copper colored, with a beige decent head. The taste is caramel, hops, malts, and sweet.

Pours a light brownish copper color with an off white soapy head. Notes of caramel, fruits, grain, and pie crust. Hard to decide if I like it. I may have to try it again.

Clear amber appearance with little head and little aroma. Buttery taste but not detracting. There is also some sweetness to the body.

Amber/orange pour with an off white head. Nose is heavy with caramel and dark fruits. Quite smooth on the palate with a bold caramel flavor and a slightly fruity finish.

On Tap. Pours with a large, fluffy, off-white head and a clear orange body. Aroma of toasted bread, nuts, dough, and a bit of light spice. Taste is toast, berries, grain, light diacetyl, light alcohol, and quite tasty. Water like mouthfeel, medium carbonation, smooth. Good beer.

Wow! Another winner from Franconia. Maybe my favourite thing they have done yet. Tons of malty goodness. Would love to know the abv on this before I drink too many!

On tap at the brewery. Pours a very nice looking amber with thick white head, very nice. Aroma of malt, a little nutty, with some caramel and alcohol. Flavor was great, malty, nuttiness, some caramel, a little spice, some alcohol. Mouth feel is medium body with high carbonation. Overall, a very well made and tasty beer!!!! Would like again, some good shit...
