Bottle. Pours a deep copper color, minimal head with some lacing. Flavor is nice, soft roasted malts, hints of smoked malt and caramel. Slightly bitter towards the end with just the right flowery hop finish. Medium bodied and smooth, this is good and would make for an outstanding session ale. A nice surprise.

500 ml bottle bought at the Boise co-op. Pours a bright reddish amber color with a large white head and loads of lacing. The aroma is very hoppy; sweet spicy notes, some rich caramel also. The flavor is very nice; sweet earthy hops, some rich caramel, bitter in the finish. Very earthy and quite spicy/bitter. Very nice.

500 ml bottle from my friend in Aberdeen! Clear dark cherry red with a big beige, lightly lacing head. Nose is very heavy with caramel, nuts, and light floral hops.Flavor is lightly bitter with an oatmeal granola note to go with the caramel. Would be a great session beer.

Bottle pours dark amber with a thin white head. Aroma is malty, a bit of fruit, and hops. Flavor is caramel and roasty malt, a decent bit of bitterness,

Pours amber brown with a smallish off white head. Aroma is caramel and dark fruits. Flavor is caramel malts with a little roastiness and nuttiness, and a tiny bit of fruity hop. Not bad.

My friend said to me, "I think the weather’s trippy." I said, "No, man, it’s not the weather that’s trippy, perhaps it is the way that we perceive it that is indeed trippy." Then I thought, "Man, I should’ve just said, ’Yeah.’
