Bottle: From San Diego to El Salvador. Drank with ramenen and rcasta during Ale Tasting session. Full oak wood aroma and taste, earthy and malty with a nice presence of hops. Well balanced, a great beer.

Attractive aroma of spice and caramel, and very drinkable - gentle bitterness and dry-ish finish with just a smidgen of lingering sweetness, but dominated by munich malt flavours - a bit too bready, rather than toasty.

Copper with creamy head. Aroma is minimal, but has some toasted bread notes. Toasted bread also on the palate, with some spicy notes and an underlying hint of vanilla. Lingering sweetish finish. Pleasant. Very sessionable.

Bottle (22oz) shared with HogTownHarry, garthicus & biegaman -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a hazy orange-amber with lots of tiny sediment and a small diminishing white head -- almost looks like a Barley Wine. Aroma’s fruity and malty along with brown sugar, some oak and light hops. Slightly watery, semi-sweet flavour of fruit, caramel malt and light earthy hops. Average bodied. This is underrated, I quite liked it.

On tap at the brewery. Amber color. Kind of vegetal notes. I wish I knew what this chemical is. Very clean. Small head.
