Drank one of these on tap at the Lakefront Brewery. Dark brown with tan head. This had some decent body with notes of coffee, caramel and nutty notes. Doing this from memory so can’t get much more detailed, but know I liked it.

Roasted malts, coffee, espresso - all mild. Light body, smooth, but not to the point of being watery. Good summer brew if you’re in the mood for something slightly darker.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 fiercepanda (295) - Missouri, USA - MAY 7, 2011
It’s a little watery tasting, but has a smooth coffee and malt flavor, with a mild roasted aroma. Looks almost like cola in the glass, and the palate is creamy but kind of thin. An all around easy drink, mild, and smooth.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 jebert (317) - Watertown, Wisconsin, USA - MAR 24, 2011
Pours a dark reddish brown with a thin light tan head mostly dissipating. Nose is of malt. Fairly creamy on the palate, the taste buds are greeted by a malt profile with caramel suggestions. Finish is slightly sweet-not hoppy. Overall, a very satisfying beer that pairs well with corned beef on pumpernickel.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Damico (1406) - Royersford, Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 21, 2011
The beer pours dark brown somehow with a murky hue. There is a huge creamy awesome head on top though! The aroma is very light roasty malts with a tad bit of coffee as well. The body is creamy, maybe not as much as described because it’s not too thick. The flavor is creamy and a bit roasty with the malts as well, it is very smooth and easily drinkable, whatever that’s worth.
