| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 17, 2009 Pours darker brown with a reddish tint to it. Medium bodied. On the aroma I get malt, slight breadiness and a faint smell of hops. Nice lacing of the glass. On my palate I get upfront bread and malts, along with a slight hop bite. Sticks around nicely and also has great head retention. maugus4ever (121), Winston-Salem, North Carolina, USA
