Narnad (78), Wonder Lake, Illinois, USA Jul 15, 2008 Had this at the Rockford, IL location. Arrived at the table with a very large, long lasting head. Color was a very nice dark copper red. Aroma is very malty with a hint of a nutty scent. The beer has a very roasted flavor imparted from the malt. Great dense maltiness and the nuttiness in the flavor tastes very similar to a walnut. It is a medium heaviness in the mouth with very low carbonation. Beer also leaves great lacing on the glass.

phishpond417 (1418), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Aug 15, 2008 Pours a clear reddish brown colour with no head. Zero lacing, But a prevalent nutty, caramel malt aroma and flavor throughout.
