Aroma suggests pears, brown sugar and toasted malts with a floral undertone. Hazy amber-brown body is topped by a decent, fine bubbled tan head that recedes to a relatively well-lasting cover with some nice lacing. Sweetness up front is joined by a quick hit of dark malts and light offsetting bitterness. Caramel lingers in the aftertaste. Medium full body with wonderful soft-bubbled carbonation. Tulip glass. Cellar temperature. Bottle purchased at Brewery Creek in Apr-09.

Draught at the brewpub, hand pulled
Brown-amber color. It has some caramel aroma and a mixed caramel-roasted malt flavor, with a medium dry mouthfeel. Straightforward beer, but quite good.

pours a brown colour with light head.caramel aroma and taste mellow but not my favorite

Deep amber brown pour, aromas of caramel, nuts, and mashed berries. soft caramel body, sweet cooked berry fruit with a hint of smoke (corkboard). Rather thin mouthfeel, but overall a nice brown.

Brown with a thin white head. Aroma is heavy caramel, toffee and malt. Taste is caramel, light mettalic, very light background hoppiness. Caramel is very present.

[1227-20080328] 650mL bottle. Fresh green leafy hops aroma has a hint of anise and sweet caramel. Clear, dark red amber brown body with a medium-lasting creamy off-white head. "Soft" woody plank and light floral flavour with a mild sour background. Medium body, mild oldness. Surprisingly nice and mellow.
