The pour is a clear amber color with an off-white head. The nose is bready with some toast and a bit of caramel sweetness. Light cocoa in the background and a very mild earthy hop aroma. The flavor has a bit of hop bitterness, but not much in the way of hop flavor. Mostly just toasted bread maltiness with a touch of caramel sweetness. Light cocoa flavor to it as well.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle: Deep amber, a bit dirty, moderate frothy off-white head, spotty lacing. Heavy bready nose, a bit husky and mealy. Semi-sweet on the tongue, malty, but also mealy. Low hop, not much zing. Smooth overall, with a moderate body and mouthfeel. A little fruity on the backside, minor citrus zest or candied peel. Decent, but a little too mealy. Could have used a bit more hop bitterness to balance it out, but otherwise its okay.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Growler filled from The Whip In in Austin.
The beer pours a reddish-amber color with a white head. The aroma is full of toffee and cocoa. The aroma is fairly sweet and is definitely all about the malt.
The flavor is more complex than the aroma. I get a lot of cocoa and toffee notes, but I also get a little bit of dark fruit and cherry notes. There is also something that resembles vanilla in the flavor which goes very well with the other flavors.
Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.
