Looks more dark orange than amber. Not much head. Clear and light-looking. Average appearance. Nice sweetened burnt malt. Brown sugary. Almost a mild Scotch ale smell. Toasted barley. Sweet and dry all at once. Striking sharp malt with sweet brown sugar and molasses. Some mild caramel. Like a liquid "Sugar Daddy" candy bar. Sweet but not saccharine. Thick and chunky, chewy feel. Milky and smooth. Really nice on the palate. Very sweet but not *too* sweet. Really well crafted and delicious.

Bottle: Poured an amber color with a white head. The aroma was light malts. The flavor was sweet, hint of malts and fruits. Overall, nothing exceptional but good quality.

bottle, pours light amber with a medium frothy off white head. Aroma is nice with the crystal malt very sweet smelling, some floral hops as well. Sweet doughy malt flavor with a smooth bittersweet malt finish. Not bad.

Bottle--Good thing I bought just a single. The beer is orange color with a small head but lots of carbonation. The aroma didn’t, of course there was no aroma. Slight taste of malt and slight sweet taste. Pretty forgetable stuff. In fact I had it the other night and I can barely remember drinking it! Produce Place

On tap at Coasters. Orange pour with a very thin white head. Aroma is just about non-existent; I mean there is nothing there. Flavor of light cherries, roses, and a hint of soap. I really didn’t like this.

Pours a clear honey color. Aroma of honey, molasses and grain. Sweet and malty initial flavor. As the taste settles in, there are very strong grain flavors. That part is not too appealing. Overall, it is okay, but not great
