On tap at the Parker Pie Company. Brown with a light creamy brown head. Roasted malts, nuts, earthy, light chocolate and coffee, hint of maple syrup and some molasses. Moderate carbonation and body, slight bitterness as it becomes more dry and nutty. Very refreshing.

"Thanks to the Three Penny Taproom for having this on tap! $6 poured into a Hill Farmstead glass. It was served a bit too cold for a honey ale. A - I’d call this a very dark Newcastle. It looks more like a porter than most brown ales. Poured a 2 finger head but quickly went away after a minute. S - Brown sugar, nutmeg, cloves, honey and fresh cut grass. I’d love to have a bottle of this on a hot summer day served super duper cold. T - Birch syrup with cedar and lots of honey. It starts light and airy but finishes with a nice birch flavor. I love the honey and syrupr flavors and how well they go together! This is a great beer. M - Heavy like a porter. Very dense but surprisingly perfect. --- O -"I think this is a fantastic beer! It’s clearly hard to find so I’m glad they had it on tap along with 5 other Hill Farmstead beers.

UPDATED: DEC 18, 2011 growler... dark brown coca cola with with a watery light tan head... solid aroma of coffee with a bit of nuts and a grassy finish, unique but good... taste is not good at all, not sure if its a bad bottle or what, way to hoppy, the Columbus hops do not work at all, rough resin, off hops

Courtesy of fbm115. Deep, rich, brown, beige head, oily lacing. Aroma is full of clean roast, nuttiness, light coffee and chocolate, back end is loading with c-hops. Dig it but a tad too hoppy for me. Flavor on is dead on with aroma. Again super clean. Soft billowy mouthfeel, creamy smooth. Well done. would like to try this in three months or so, maybe the hops will mellow out, might score another 5/6 points better for me.
