Commercial Description:
This is a finely balanced but somewhat malt centered beer. Generous amounts of Munich Malt lend a full rich malt flavor that is deepened with some dark roasted Chocolate Malt. Perle and Tettnanger hops finish out the balance. O.G. -15.0/1060. Hops - 27 IBUs

Draft: Light prune liquid. Spiderweb lavework. Lovely aroma of raisin, toffee, glazed pecan, cocoa, and concord grape. Undertones of earth and chocolate. Firm, snappy carbonation. Very toffeeish. Starts mildly roasted with notes of toasted marshmallow, followed by a green, floral german hop snap. Big notes of caramel-coated coffee bean, nutty bread aspects, chocolate, toffee, and vanilla in the resounding finish. A truly impressive piece of work.

Malty goodness, cherry cordial colored. Caramel taste and texture...very smooth. Not complex but so well done. My non-beer drinking friend said this replaced Ad Astra as her "favorite."

Deep, clear dark red-brown color with an even head. Dark bready malt aroma and flavor, with some roastiness and hints of brown sugar. Malty, sweet, lightly toffeeish finish with a creamy, smooth, effervescent mouthfeel. Decent.
