| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 5, 2009 Sampled at the Impromptu Butter’s 6th cellar clearance. Near clear dark orange with reddish highlights and thin wispy near white head. Nicely hopped nose with hints of caramel malt come through prevalently in the flavor. Toasty and almost a burnt quality. Lingering bitterness is exactly what I look for in a session beer. Barrios (858), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
