Draught at Carolina Ale House in Durham, NC. Clear golden color with bubbly white head. Grainy nose with a hint of spicy hops. Slightly sweet with a nice grainy aftertaste that is a bit buttery. Crisp finish with perfect amount of carbonation for the style. Very good beer.

From notes 7/21/04: Pours an attractive deep amber color with a light beige head. Fluffy and full with great staying power. Intricate lacing. Sweet malty aromas with an ample amount of nut involved. Caramel, toffee, and nut. Inviting. Flavors have more of the same, with a sweet caramelly feel and a lingering nuttiness afterward. Some hops cut through the sweetness nicely in a non-overpowering way. Seems to improve as it warms. The initial coldness of the beer seemed to mute many of the characteristics. Modest mouthfeel. Slightly slick in its feel. Drinkable to say the least. A nice offering.

Amber colored beer with a slight white head. Caramel and coffee flavor. Had a slight hop aftertaste. Nice beer good for a drink or two.

Has a taste similar to a pilsener, but not quite as crisp. Caramel detected but not very strong. I love this brewery, but this is clearly not their best beer.

Large bubbly off-white head. King of chunky. Light malts and hops with a bit of sweetness. Color is a dark orange. Wow. Much more hops in the flavor than expected and from the aroma. Quite nice and hoppy. Little bit of orange and flowers. Quite bitte flavor and finish. Slick and oily at the finish with more bitterness. A decent brew.

Amber-gold brew topped by a thick head. Big Vienna malt nose. Nice malty flavor with good hop backup (perhaps too good). Dry malt finish.

Dark straw pour with medium white head and big carbonation bubbles. Aroma of malt and hopcit. Tastes malty/honeyish, with some hopcit and slight fruit at the finish.

Bottle: Kind of suprised by this beer. Light copper in color. Fairly decent head on it. I do get a bit of caramel in the aroma. Also some malt sweetness and hops. Similar tastes. The beer is very smooth and well rounded, with a slight bitterness at the end. Overall, a pretty decent offering.
