From tap at Pizza Port, Carlsbad. pours clear and golden orange with a lacing white head. Smooth spiced and light caramel malty aroma. Spiced base flavour with a solid caramel malt presence and mild bitterness towards the finish. Caramel lingering into the far finish yet with a constant dry spice note.

Draft. A hazy amber beer with a thin lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet with a strong spicy note of coriander and more, with an underlying note of caramel. The flavor is sweet wtih notes of caramel on which is a strong note of spices with coriander being strongest.

Sample at San Diego Brewing Company. Pours a clear dark amber color with a thin beige head that recedes steadily. Spotty lacing. Aroma of yeast, malt and light peppery hops. Medium-bodied and clean with flavors of yeast, fruit and spices. Sweet caramel malt undertones as well. The finish is spiced with a fruity aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

On tap at SD Brewing Company; poured a really nice reddish color. Aroma was hoppier than expected with a goo amount of caramel malt balance. Flavor wasn’t quite as hoppy, which was a bit surprising based on the aroma. Flavor was good and well balanced. Caramel and toasted malt with some vanillal and spices. A really good version for the style.
