Sep 14, 2009 Growler. Pours nut brown with a thin tan head. Malty sweet aroma with a touch of caramel. Toasted walnut is at the forefront, countered with a medium intensity hop body. A bit watery on the palate but very drinkable and enjoyable, very light carbonation. I must say I really enjoyed this, nice alternative to the same old brewpub standards. Well done.

Jul 15, 2009 Sampled @ Otter: Not bad, but nothing special. This style is supposed to be "well hopped" something this is lacking. The color is a nice, dark amber/ copper, pours with a thin head. Lots of malt and biscuit present here, but very light on the hops making this a sweeter beer that could use some more bitterness. Not well balanced.

May 25, 2009 Aroma is caramel malts with some roast to it. Not half bad but just not enough. Made for the Newpaltz crowd I guess. Taste is sweet and balanced, even a hint of spice and toast. Ok.

Oct 25, 2008 Pours a dark caramel color with a light tan head. Malty notes, with hints of toast and chocolate. Very smooth body with more malt, and a crisp bitter finish.

Aug 11, 2008 Sample at the brewpub: Pours a bronze/amber color with a fading light tan head. The aroma is slightly toasted, mildly nutty with underlying biscuity malts. Decent light body. The flavor has some smooth, mildly toasted malt presence- bread-crust and subtle nutty hints. The finish remains toasted and is mildly hopped. A decent Altbier.

Jul 30, 2008 sampler @ brewery - dark brown and clear; drinks smooth with a creamy finish; a little grainy too; has a dry, maltiness to it mixed with mild flavors of nuts; interesting

Feb 16, 2008 Had on the suggestion of the bartender. I had high hopes but they weren’t meet. Poured a nice mid to dark brown but with little head. Light hoppy smell.
Smooth on the taste.
Fades a bit on the palate and gets a bit watery.
