smell is of roasted caramel, malt, some spice, barley, some sweet fruits.
taste is caramel, toasted walnuts, an organic funk, spice, hops, and some grain.
overall would have scored better if it was not for the organic funk that stays with you after you are done drinking. BeerandBlues2 (3237), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA
