A mildly strong yet smooth brew. With a malty, creamy character and a low but perceptable hop bitterness. A soft, chewy character in flavor and feel.

Draft at brewpub. Copper color with a nose of malt and caramel. Flavor is surprising, with good malt backbone and some nice hoppy caramel characters. Good finish.

Sampled at the brewhouse in St Helena. I have to say this beer was very poor. The flavor of the amber ale was very bitter and rough on the senses. I hope this was a one off batch cause it was very very poor.

12/30/07 from sample glass at brewery. Malty, sweet aroma with sweet, dark carmel notes. Deep amber color with traces of off-white head and decent lacing. Flavors of dark caramel with some sweetness. Hop bitterness balances malt fairly well. Some toasty and biscuity malt notes detected as well. Medium body, medium-high carbonation. Slightly sticky finish.

Draft at the brewpub. Poured a clear dark orange color. Head was thin, off white, and left some good lace behind. Smelled of light grassy hops and spicy malt. Sweet on the tongue with flavors of nuts, toffee, and subdued milk chocolate. Not bad.

Pours a dark amber color with some foamy offwhite head. Aroma is sweet with slight cascade hop presence. Flavor is watery and weak, sweet with little cascade hop finish. Overall - weak.
