wetherel (956), Carlsbad, California, USA May 8, 2008 Bonus bottle from Nachlamsie. A hint of melanoidins when cap is popped. Very little head. Slightly cloudy amber color. Low aroma. Nutty flavor. A hint of smoke. Not bad.
phishpond417 (1231), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Jul 26, 2008 Pours a clear brownish-copper colour with a fairly weak head. Soft nutty character, caramel and cardboard. Flavors are refreshing, very clean on the palate, and satisfying all the way around. A nice refreshing summer brew. emarkd (24), Georgia, USA Jul 5, 2008 Draft at the brewery in Gatlinburg, TN. Dark amber color with a very small head. Smells like bread - very malty nose - with perhaps a touch of something nutty. Taste is very grainy and too sweet. A touch of bitterness in the finish, but not nearly enough to balance things out. jcwattsrugger (3757), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Jun 8, 2008 on tap-pours a off white ring for a head and amber color. Aroma is sweet medium malt-honey/toffee. Taste is sweet medium malt-honey/toffee/peat, some earthy hops. Mild carbonation. elmatador00 (518), j-action-ville, North Carolina, USA Apr 30, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a dark brown with a quickly dissipating head. Aroma is mostly roasted malts. Tastes of molasses, nut, and honey. Palate is a little sticky, with a strong oakey finish. Not bad.
