UPDATED: APR 8, 2007 Pours with a frothy white head. Honey colored and murky. Aroma is bready(yeasty) with caramel and brown sugar. I don’t pick up much of the hops or spices that the previous rater mentions. Flavor is sweet almost syrupy. Some alcohol does show up on the finish to moderate the sweetness.
