Pours brown with a white head. Smells of toasted malt, some roses, earthy. Tastes earthy and sweet with some spicy elements and a hint of wildflowers on the finish.

Pre- BCTC-08 campout. Pours a mostly clear deep amber with a thin diminishing head. Aroma is Diacetyl butterscotch, with acetaldehyde green apple and - phenolic and solvent with some burnt toast. Flavor is more butter and acet with doughy wheat, a slick caramel, dried burnt toast, some nutty chocolate and oxidization- cardboard- bland and watery finish. Meh.

Thanks to ClockworkOrange for sending this one out to me Bottle poured into my Sam Addams glass produced a finer worth of white head that trailed of to a thin lace. the body of the brew was a nice mahogany brown.
The aromas were light malts and wheat with a little fruity yeast coming to my attention as well.
The flavor was nice and light, some grassiness, sweet malts and a touch of bitter nice and light in the mouth with enough carbonation for my tongue.
A good drinking brew very sessionable and could easily be a fine addition to their regular line up.

thanks Dorwart for this! This is very good. Brown color with a mostly white head. Aroma is just like an imitation maple syrup. Flavor is smooth as hell and has good notes of sweet malts, nuts, honey and a honey wheat bread. I really enjoyed this. I wish I had gotten a bigger pour!!

Bottle from johnykat. Thanks man! The initial aroma is toasty with notes of chocolate and wheat. Light yeasty sweetness and a touch of spice too. Brown pour with a nice tan head and some decent lacing. Flavors of toasted and chocolate wheat malt. Nice pleasant sweetness, some spice too. Very smooth velvetty body. A nice beer.

draft @ drafting room. pours dark ruby with a thin white head. nose of spicy hops, caramel malt, light anise. dark fruit. flavor is decidedly carrot cake (with the cream cheese icing...of course!) light, spicy hops, strong, sweet malts. Nuttiness is prevalent, mostly almond and cashew. Pumpkin-y, too. Aftertaste is tart, spicy, malty. Very intriguing and quite complex. I definitely recommend this.
