Roasted malt smell on a red body with a thin cascading head. Raisin on a watery body. Malt with very little hops. Buttery beer. Red in the light , malty brown without. Head thins to a small topping. Malt and hops combine instead of differentiating and competing for attention, the beer then fades slowly.

Clear deep amber with a small head. Light hoppy aroma. The taste is some caramel malt, slightly hoppy, smooth and a bit fruity. Well-balanced tasty brew.

A clear dark amber colored beer, with a beige little foamy head. the aroma is sweet caramel, malty and a little fruit. The taste is dry bitter, with some wheat. There are some roasted nuts in the aftertaste and dry sweet in the back.

Light copper/amber color. Caramel aroma comes through in the flavor that is well balanced with a clean hop bitterness.
