Aromas of fruit and licorice, with a bready biscuity maltiness. Really rich and easy to drink. rm0312 (35), Idaho, USA May 10, 2007 Updated: May 11, 2007From the bottle into a pint glass - Dark brown with a light frothy head that dissipated quickly but retained a nice lacing. Very good aroma, nice mellow bready toffee flavor with a touch of caramel. Very good beer. 5000 (2400), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA May 5, 2007 Bottle: Burnt caramel in color, on the darker side, moderate foamy head, bubbles are fine, fairly nice lacing.   Soft toasted
malt, some whole wheat like bread character as well.   Seems somewhat sweet.   Bready on the tongue, toasty in a whole wheat sense.
  Definitely on the sweet side.   Body and mouthfeel are on par, moderate.   Clean finish, remains bready and sweet, light
toasted malts with maybe even a hint of dark pitted fruit and unripened black cherry linger.   Decent.
