My buddy brought me a growler on his way home from a Tigers game (yes, he bought one for himself, too) and it’s all we’ve talked about since. Nice tight creamy off-white head, murky caramel brown in the glass. Malty caramel aroma. Medium mouthfeel. Awesome roasty malt flavor with a mildly bitter, wet finish. Reminds me of New Belgium Fat Tire but more assertive.

The restrained aroma consists mainly of toasted nuts and caramel. Medium to full-bodied with lively carbonation. Pretty well-balanced. Malty, nutty, caramel flavor. Crisp, malty finish. Rich for the style. Bottle courtesy of dmschefke! dmschefke (371), Eastpointe, Michigan, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 20, 2009 Pours a deep amber with thin off-white head. Aroma strong of malt, bread, nutty, and slight hops. Flavor is slightly sweet with a bit more hops bittering than I was expecting. Overall, nice brew and very drinkable. flatmatt (230), Northville, Michigan, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 31, 2009 On tap at a local restaurant. Pours amber red with a light tan head. Aroma of light sweet biscuit. Flavor is mildly sweet, toasty biscuit with a touch of honey, a little like rye, along with a bit of hoppiness and maybe a bit metallic. Pleasant flavors overall, but pretty light. BeerBaron617 (313), Novi, Michigan, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 6, 2008 My first offering from this brewery, is good, but not great. It pours a darker reddish brown, and has decent offwhite head. The aroma is subtle, with some woody notes, along with some caramel. The flavor is malty, with a decent amount of hopiness, and finishes with a sweet back. With this being my hometown brewer, I am neither impressed, nor dissapointed. It’s a good brew, thats very drinkable and was brewed properly. Cheers!
