Pours a clear copper with a dense, creamy, beige head with patchy lacing. The nose is malty, nutty and peaty, almost like a Scottish ale. The light side of medium-bodied, the mouthfeel is slick with a toasted, dry finish. The flavor is a lightly sweet toasted malt front with backing notes of nuts and peat. It reminds me a bit of GD’s now retired HotShot ESB, but with added nuttiness and an amped up flavor profile. Despite the general consensus, this is now one of my favorite ambers.

Aug 1, 2008 Smells nice and natural. It has a carmel, bread like aroma. It pours a light brown into a tulip glass with a smaller white head. It was slightly sweet on taste and a bit heavy. A very nice smooth drinker.

Jul 5, 2008 Hazy amber with a medium off-white thin head. Aroma of cookie, dough, bread, caramel, and toffee. Taste of caramel, sweet malt, nuts and honey. Semi-watery, so-so amber.

Jul 3, 2008 nice amber pour with a 2 finger cream head. malts on the nose at first with a slight hoppy scent in the background. a little thicker than i was expecting and it’s kind of flavorless until the finish. it’s a nice clean finish of hops that become balanced out by the malts quite well.

May 2, 2008 The aroma was of light hops. while I pour carefully, the head was quite large and off white. The beer itself was mildly cloudy and a taste temping medium amber. The taste was a bit hopy and not very sweet for a malt, yet it finished rather smooth...
