Amber with light, white head / Nose of toast and burnt sugar / Light to medium body, balanced with a touch of hop creaminess, and a decent finish / Light, muddy flavors of burnt sugar and toasted grain / A pleasant enough beer.

Pours a golden body with a pretty malted aroma. Also has an akwardly overly malted flavor which was at first a little unpleasesnt. Flavors of soft berries, oak and grain. I may have to try this again.

12oz, twist-off bottle, black with gold label. Light amber color. Sweet malt aroma. Spicy herbal grass hop aroma. Flavor is sherry, allspice, even some black pepper spiciness. Finishes with a clean hop bitterness to balance out the malt character. Very nice.

Pours a light copper color with a white head Aroma is tons of caramel and malt. Then finishes with some nice peppery hops. Flavor is big on the malt and caramel. With nice peppery hop finish to help balance it out.

This is easily my favorite beer. The flavor gets better as you drink more. Very smooth, malt, caramel and not too thick. I love it and can’t wait for it to come back!
