Pours a nice deep dark brown, moslty clear with auburn highlights- nice grayish tan head with awesome lace. Aroma at first is a bit chalky and light roast, but as it warms it gains a nice deep chocolate malt character with lots of toast and nut hints- light ester profile and slight tea and heerbal hops. Full flavor for a mild- lots of chocolate malts, some sweet caramel, herbal hops, and a clean lightly bitter finihs. Very smooht and easy to drink especially as it warmed.

on tap-pours a retaining foamy tan head that laces and dark brown color with red tint. Aroma is roasty dark malt-chocolate. Taste is roasty dark malt-chocolate, coffee/caramel, secondary hops bitterness. Good carbonation.

Dark auburn with a smallish quickly dissipating tan head, this mild ale had an earthy burnt toast aroma and flavor. Subdued hop profile with little bitterness, and a dry finish. Pretty boring though the style is rarely done in America. Easy drinking; like a porter lite.
