Pours a clear copper color with a large light beige head and light lacing. The aroma is full of caramel and some light grains. The flavor is oddly very dry, some full caramel malts, light grains, some light peppery spices and nutmeg. Not bad at all. Somewhat medicinal. Eyedrinkale (3209), Astoria, New York, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Feb 19, 2009 Draft at Lazy Boy. Flavor is pretty malty with only a slight amount of oxidation. Decent cereal flavor and although the hops have faded, it leaves behind a somewhat enjoyable taste. decaturstevo (2010), decatur, Tennessee, USA
