Sampled at Bob’s McFarland Liquors in McFarland, Wisconsin. Pours a semi-clear coppery brown brew with an average beige head that quickly dissolves to a fine film and ring. Aroma of dark caramel malt, roasted hazelnuts, with a touch of molasses and toffee. Taste is lightly carbonated, medium bodied with flavors of roasted dark malt, some dried fruit and a touch of toffee. Finish is smooth, creamy, slightly sweet with a hint of peach aftertaste.

Sep 7, 2008 Bottle and served in pint glass: Deep amber brownish hue with a moderate creamy off-white head and good lace. The aroma has notes of walnuts, caramel, toast, sugar, light raisins, and an herbal vapour. The taste is rather straight forward malty sweetness and hint of nutty background. There is a hint of bitters towards the finish but there is also a hint of butterscotch as well. The mouth feel is smooth and medium-bodied. Honestly a forgettable brew, standard stuff.

Sep 3, 2008 Slightly hazy dark brown with a creamy, light brown head. Nutty, roasted malt and toasted grain aromas with a whiff of hops. Flavor of sweet, roasted malt, candied nuts and a touch of hops bitterness at the end. Nice tingle of carbonation and a nice creamy palate.

Aug 20, 2008 Updated: Sep 3, 2008Bottle, dimple mug. Pours a hazy red-brown, with scant pale creamy head. Bold toasty malt aromas, notes of apple blossom, also a deep earthiness. Not at all viscous, but a vigorous effervescence on the tongue displaces any feelings of wateriness. Initial impessions of barley, caramel, and bright coffee, followed bitterness (hops, raw peanuts), touch of a musty musty element. Smooth finish, hazelnut coffee, caramel mouthfeel. A bit lacking in harmony among the parts, but really a flavorful brew.
