Three Creeks Anvil Amber

Brewed by Three Creeks Brewing Co.

On tap at the brew pub. Tastes like a weak stout instead of an amber. Malty roast in an amber seems a bit weird to me. Decent and rather unconventional.

Deep ruby body. Rich chocolate malt with plenty of sweet toffee characteristics. Toasted malt and a soft floral hop component.

Thanks to Flem for the taster--Poured a deep ruby chestnut body with a fluffy off-white head. Sticky, sweet, malty nose with a little hop bite. Very easy to drink.
