Deep amber, thick white head showing decent retention. Earthy toffee aroma, same flavour on the palate, with a hint of chocolate maybe? Medium-bodied, medium sweetness. On the good side of average.

2008-10-15. Dark amber born body with a modest off-white head. Lightly vegetal tangy malt aroma. Similar flavour, dry tangy malt. Average palate. Meh. Not what I was expecting in a cream ale really. <i>Bottle shared by GregClow</i>

Pours a pale brown with a thin fleeting head and some lace. Aroma is light and sweet. I could almost imagine maple syrup, though I never really could taste it even in the original. Sweet and buttery tasting, with a hint of chocolate malt. Tastes almost like a bitter but with less in the way of hops. Minimal carbonation and a thin body. Very sessionable but unsatisfying. Not as awful as the Blue Buck, and the chocolate malt adds an interesting touch, but hardly their best.

Bottle given to me from Joss. Amber with a thin white head. Aroma is light caramel, faint chocolate, and malt showing. Taste is a light roastiness with caramel, and malt showing. Good session beer.

12 oz Bottle from Spinnaker Wine Merchants; Nose of uncooled hot cereal grains, light caramel maltiness, and floral hops; clear light brown with a medium beige head; flavor is light hop bitterness, maltomeal cereal graininess, and light sweetness at the end; body very creamy feeling.
