22 oz bomber-trade w/snojerk321 (I think!)-pours a cloudy amber color w/a big, foamy head & good lacing. Roasted malt aroma. Full malt flavor w/roasted nuts, toffee, dark fruit, & caramel. Kind of a sweet flavor to it. Easy drinking, sesson type brew, very smooth. Somewhat bitter finish; no trace of hops at all.

In the bottle from HyVee CB. Pours a dark reddish amber- nearly brown with a large yellow-beige head. Strong roasted nut aroma. Fig flavors blend into a mild malty palate. Finishes with the scent-inspired nuttiness. Very malty body. Excellent rings of lacing form. No infection in my bottle as mentioned recently by others.

Poured from tap at Marin brewing a clear brown with medium beige head with low carbonation. Soft aroma of toast, malt and a little floral fruitiness. Flavor is apricot, sweet caramel, toast, malt, with some fresh hops coming out in the aftertaste. This beer has a big malty feel to it with very little bitterness. Overall a nice amber. I would drink this one again.

22 ounce bottle purchased at BevMo in Natomas, CA. Awkward aroma with some weird, sweet, fruity, berry-like notes. Smells a bit infected. Mostly transparent amber colored body with a an overly large frothy off-yellow head and nice lacing. There is clearly some infection here. Sour start before it becomes malty with a shitload of coffee malts in the end. Roasted malts too. Too bad there is some infection here, because this is probably a really good beer. I will need to try this again.

Pours an EXTREMELY frothy head. LOTS of carbonation. Amazing amount of carbonation!! Hoppy aroma with background of crytal malt. Lots of malty flavors. Perhaps a bit of citrusy undertones too. Light body. Malt on the palate in the aftertaste. This could be a good lawnmower beer, except for the aftertaste.
