Nice, easy drinker. Looks fine and tastes fine. Can’t pretend to taste any nut flavor, but still a solid choin

Carmel flavour, easy to drink with the just right amount of bitterness. Nice to have with a good dinner.

Nice and tasty ale. Despute its mainstream tendency it’s clearly a pleasant experience - especially along with food. The aroma is the least special.

Definitely an amazing brew compared to other widely available bar beers. Had this one instead of the usual macro line-up while watching Monday Night Football. Chocolate brown with rose-colored edges. This beer has a minimal head and is dominated by roasted malts. Sweet; brown sugar, caramel, and toffee work their way to the the forefront. A bit thin but high on the drinkability scale. Enjoyable.

Draft- Weaver. Dark brown, aroma of richly roasted malt, surprisingly full-bodied. Very good beer... malts were nicely toasted, a bit smoky, and a rich palate. Not much on the hops side. An interesting contrast to the Sierra Nevada I just had before this one. A bit on the sweeter side, so 1 or 2 of these in a sitting would be plenty. Interesting comments below about the freshness of the beer and how it impacts the flavor. Mine was definitely fresh and it showed. This was a nice beer.

Bottle. Pours red brown with a beige head. Light aroma and flavor of caramel malt and brown sugar on top of a rather thin body.
