May 1, 2005 Very similar in color to Craic; less lace/head, though. Pretty big sweetness -- light roast, curious caramel (hint of sugary Boston baked beans), and some chalky cocoa. Very mild bitterness (not enough, IMO, to balance the sweetness). Some sweet bread dough and a bit o’ herbs. Decent beer, but sweetness was a little droning.
