Jan 20, 2008 Thanks to Skyview for sharing! Dark copper color with a thin head. Very bready aroma with a strong hint of chocolate. Dry and chalky taste. Nutty and some chocolate. Actually tastes much like a nut brown. Has a little bit of corn towards the finish. Nice overall.

Jan 20, 2008 Picked up a single 12-oz bottle at the Fratellos Waterfront Brewery & Restaurant in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Pours a clear brownish amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that quickly dissipates to a fine film and a thin white ring. Aroma roasted caramel malt, a touch of corn adjunct, some citrusy hops, and a touch of pumpernickel. Taste is lighter than its aroma, medium bodied, some carbonation with flavors of light toasted caramel malt, citrus zest and some roasted nut character. Finish has a mild bitterness that lingers around, a light malt aftertaste with even a hint of white pepper. I was told this was first brewed in 2003. Nice to have the brewmaster make one more batch of this commemorative beer.
