Looked like a cutesy-labeled macro by the label, but surprised myself by rather enjoying it. Would call this a winter ale, plenty of hearty caramel malts. Nice bready character, certainly more heft than expected. Malts are forefront, but a definite hop presence.

Nice amber color with a good head. Great malt aroma with a hint of sweetness, maple? Has the nice roasted malt flavor of an English pub ale. Very good/ smooth.

’Accessible’ as opposed to an ’aloof’ beer? I don’t understand how brewers come up with their these descriptions; they must be bringing home their work with them. Nice dark body with a slight maple finish...
