Very easy drinking brew, flavors of caramal, toffee, nuts, & sweet roasted malt. Not overly complicated, but very enjoyable. Seems to be the mark of this brewer, they just make a lot of good, easy drinking brews; nothing wrong with that! Long, smooth malt finish, would be a good sesson brew, alcohol is well hidden. docsteigs (139), USA Feb 1, 2008 Pours with full frothy head, looks nice. Tastes smooth and malty; rich undertones. Warm and nutty. blutt59 (2042), Dallas, Texas, USA Jan 31, 2008 light golden brown color, minimal head, very much a samuel smiths, lots of coffee, bitter finish, tastes very similar to the other samuel smith’s ale Guinness4Duff (507), Tallahassee (and Poconos, PA), Florida, USA Jan 31, 2008 Has an amber color with a white head.
