| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 30, 2008 Coppery in color with a thick frothy head. Sweet grain notes along with toasty malt makes for an great aroma. I feel like I am smelling fresh dark wheat bread. Very similar flavor as with the aroma. Sweet bread and grain flavors mixed in with the malty taste. Overall it’s nice to have one or two but it definitely is not a session beer. doboy (177), Morehead City, North Carolina, USA

Nice malty nose. Malty flavor abounds with hints of other ingredients such as honey and some ffruit. Nice mouth feel coats the tongue and mouth. Nice and sweet. Aftertaste is all malt.
