I had to order this - I was sitting in the Brick with Argo0, Kathy, Wakie and his wife Marge, and things were, ahem, happy, and I was wearing my Albion College sweatshirt. And it was in stock! Cha-ching! Quite malty, alcohol nicely worked in (and noticeable) very balanced, great hop touches throughout. A very well made beer.

Pours very nice, with a thick dark amber, brown color. Has a ton of head. Took about 20 minutes to pour the entire bottle. Aroma is kind of nonexistent. mouthfeel is fair and smooth. Flavor is strong and more malty than most ambers. Overall a very good beer.

Wow, nice aroma! Unfortunately, I didn’t stop there. The flavor is a little bit of a letdown--tastes watery. Has promise but lacks substance. Hint of pumpkin flavor, and amber malt flavor is quite noticeable.

balanced malt hop aroma, transparent amber, awesome balance between sweet malt and berry hoppiness
