Tap at the brewery. 4.75% ABV Very light malty graininess in the aroma. Clear amber brown with small white head. Light grain and smoke in the flavor. Very clean with light roastiness in the finish. Very sessionable.

Deep amber pour with off white head and lace. Light roasted malt aroma mixed with a molasses. Rich sweet caramel malt, a hint of peat, and a very light bitter. Nice smooth carbonation with a medium/full body.

Tap at Nodding Head. Pours copper with a bright white ring. Nose is light and malty. Taste is sweet, malty with some toffee, decent.

Cask at 3rd Manhattan Cask Fest: Copper pour with a fading head. Aroma has lots of corn character and a light caramel sweetness- it’s almost reminiscent of Cracker Jacks or peanut brittle. Light bottle- just just a touch of toasted character at the fore-flavor. Lightly sweet background of, again, peanut brittle and corn, like Cracker Jacks. The finish is extremely vacant. Not really on target with the style, and fairly vacant overall. Eh.

Tap at the brewpub. Fizzy, toasty, uncooked corn aroma; muddy. Thinnish body with no finish. Mild bread/toast, whole grain, but very thin. Not much going on at all.

Copper coloured ale with a thin sticky white head. Aroma is lightly malty with loads of crackery fresh malts. Nice orange marmalade and earthy hoppiness on the top, but it definitely leans toward the malty side of things. Flavour has good balance with a lovely soft palate. Fairly fruity aroma with a touch of berryish esters. Low bitterness. Pretty solid.

Poured dark amber with a reddish hue. Fading head. Malty aroma and taste, little bitterness in the finish. Unnoticeable scotch flavors for a scotch ale. Pretty boring.

Draft at the Brewpub. Pours amber with an off white head. Malty aroma, decent balance of sweetness and toast. The flavor is sweet malty, again with a little toast, as well as earthy and herbal hints. Pretty good.
