This beer poured a dark brown color with slightly off-white head that was approximately two fingers and dissipated quickly. The aroma was of caramel, toffee, and roasted malt. The flavor was pretty much the same as the aroma. The mouthfeel of the beer was medium-bodied. This was a nice beer that was definitely sessionable. Nothing spectacular, but good.
