Nov 6, 2005 Tap @ The Nomad. Light chestnut color with a moderate light beige head. Aromas of toasted wheat bread, brown sugar and pralines. Caramel and mild spice (allspice) flavors. Didn’t have much depth to me. I wondered if the tap lines needed a good cleaning. I will need to revisit.; after seeing some of the other better reviews.

Oct 8, 2005 At the Nomad. Dark amber color with a thin head. No aroma, though it could be the overwhelming smoke from the bar... Sweet malt taste with a strong buttery component on the end. Oddly enough, I did not pick up the hops at all. Not too damn bad.

Jun 14, 2006 On tap at The Nomad. Poured a clear, rich amber with a respectable cap of off-white headage. Nose was of rich caramel and spicy malts.. along with herbal hops and toffee... very enticing. Flavor stepped it up another notch... spicy caramel blended well some significant hoppage (both herbal and Cascades well represented), buttered toffee, and mild nuttiness. Smooth and about medium-bodied on the palate. Very, very good!

Dec 5, 2005 Brown Coloring with White Skin. Hoppy Aroma...Dusty Malt and Dry Hop Notes on the Tongue...Dry Musty Aftertaste..with an Oddly Buttery Beginning...glancing at JPDIPSO’s rating, I would Agree with Prailines.

Aug 31, 2005 I sampled this on tap at Trocadero. I was pleasantly surprised that this beer was so good. It poured to a hazy bright brown/red body with visible carbonation and a thick creamy beige head. The aroma was sweet caramel, almonds, and lightly hoppy. The flavor was really where this beer excelled. I tasted it and was like holy "@#!$%", I wasn’t expecting that! Very nicely hopped. If I had to guess, it’s greater than 70 IBU. The flavor is very hoppy, cascade hops, English hops, there’s also a rich malt. Toffee and brown sugar.
