<i>On tap.</i><br />Pours a nearly opaque chestnut-brown with hints of red on the edges. Thinnish mocha-colored head forms on pour and fairly quickly settles to a whispe and a ring, the latter of which leaves nice bits of lace as the glass empties. Aroma reveals a surprisingly sweet malt profile with dried grain and medium hop bitterness also showing. Flavor also showed a sweet touch with caramel, toffee molasses and a dash of dried cherries tempering the otherwise toasty dryness and moderate hop bitterness. Medium mouthfeel with a slightly thin palate, especially for a beer with such a sweet flavor profile. Quite a charming little brown.

May 26, 2005 This one had little head and was the expected near opaque color. The aroma was of slight caramel and peat, with a taste of malt to match. The malt was consistent throughout, with just enough bittering hops to keep it from being unbalanced. Not a real exciting brew.
