Pours burnt orange, copper with a medium sized white head, and a small, lasting ring of foam. Aroma of toast, caramel, almonds, and leaves. Tastes caramelly at first, with a hint of bread dough, transitioning to a more toasty breadcrust and almond finish. Toasty on the throat, but I wouldn’t call it bitter, cause it’s so easy going. Like liquid bread, all flavors are clean and earthy. Medium to light bodied, slightly cloying but overall quite refreshing. Right up there with Great Lakes Eliot Ness.

I’m not sure if I was expecting more if this beer was just that flat. Faint aroma of hops. No head, golden blond body. Well balanced, but very weak flavor. Thin malt profile. I was expecting a lot more from this beer, but it is a very meek and flavorless brew.

on tap. tasted with BMan1113VR. caramel color with some orange highlights. lots of carbonation and ubbles in the body. nose is sugar and caramel with some good lacing. Bananas and spice in the nose and taste and there is some honey and sugar in the finish. Not bad.

On tap at the brewpub; drank with ilovedarkbeer. Clear amber body with not much head, but some lacing. Weak aroma. Nutty, malty taste with some banana at the finish. Fizzy mouthfeel. AR:5; AP:3; F:6; P:2; O:13 Overall: 2.9</BR> Re-rate: On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear golden brown with a small off-white head that reverts to a ring. Aroma of honey and light toasted malts. Taste is similar to the aroma; light honey, toasted malt and some wheat.
