Bottle, december 28th 2012. Dark red body, unclear, with big offwhite head. Malty and sweet taste, syrup and caramel, luckily someone was clever enough to toss in some fruity aroma hops too, works well with the peach contrast. Taste is also very sweet, again syrup, with chocolate, roasted malt fruity and piney hops. Works well, but more hops could be used to justify the ’american’ part of the name. Finish is roasty with chocolate.

(Bottle) Reddish brown colour with dense, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of dark bread, ryvita, dried fruit, toffee and a touch of orange peel. Malty, roasted taste with crisp-bread, dried fruit, brown sugar, chocolate, a touch of cacao, orange and a gentle citric bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Well balanced and quite nice.
