On draft at the brewpub 7/6/05: Dark bronze color with a smooth caramel character and mellow bitterness. Malty, malty ... very Vienna-like, but average.

(Draft: Glacier Brewhouse in Anchorage, AK) Moderately flavorful, light carmel maltiness, fairly mild bitterness, sweet, mildly tart, but overall, the flavor is generic and unexciting; The finish is pretty light, with the malt fading somewhat, allowing the mild bitterness to have a bit more presence; Very light nose has a mild toasty maltiness; Medium bodied, but nothing special on the palate; Deep amber color; Sizeable tan head is mostly large bubbles, but shows decent retention, gradually fading to a sheen; Lots of draping lacing on the glass

Deep amber; kind of copperish. Sweet, deep malts with an English slant. Toasted bread and a little doughy. Mild hops with a very mild bitterness. Pretty good, easy-drinking beer. Wished for some more bitterness, though.

UPDATED: JAN 31, 2004 Draft: This is a great offering from Glacier BrewHouse. Very dark and opaque beer. Thin head that dissappears quickly. Strong malty aroma. A little bitter up front with a smooth finish. (I enjoyed this beer at Anchorage Airport)

UPDATED: JUN 26, 2005 Great amber. Darker than most of the style, verging on being a brown ale (Actually reminds me a bit of Boyne River Brown). Mildly hopped, huge malt flavors and aromas dominate. Rich and delicious.
