robertjm (399), El Cerrito, California, USA May 17, 2009 (tasting noes from 04/05/09). Draft at MBC. Wonderfully malty with hoppy undertones. Lightly carbonated. Risidual sweetness, especially in aftertaste. AgentSteve (1334), SF Bay Area, California, USA Apr 1, 2009 Shared with the brewer Shane, pours deep brown with deep red highlights when held to the sun. No head. Full nose of molasses, caramel, leather, earth and a hint of soy. Same in the flavor with some tangy rye malt in the finish. Smooth mouthfeel with a dry, slightly nutty finish.
