Poured into snifter, light brown in color. No head apparent. Citrusy nose. Heavy malt flavor, nutty base. Extremely light carbonation. Don’t really taste the high ABV at all. Good beer.

Mar 24, 2008 I cheated and scanned the ratings to see if I was the only one getting the unusual aromas and flavors I detected. Not something I usually do but I guess I am crazy. Here it goes.....A copper color with a decent sized head. The aroma is peanut butter, chocolate, and caramel. It smells like a Resse cup I swear. The flavor is full of chocolate, some malted milk balls, and caramel. This was straight up like a good desert. Very different but also very good.
