Crystal clear, copper-colored ale. Small, creamy, off-white head. Malty nose with notes of broth, alcohol and butterscotch. A touch floral as well. Good, malty flavor with blasts of toffee and cinnamon butter. Almost balanced out by the hops, but not quite. Full-bodied with an oily mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Short, astringent, malty finish.

Pours a transparent deep copper amber with a thin, wispy-lacing off-white head. Aroma of sweet toasty caramel malt and a touch of citrusy hops. Body starts fairly full and syrupy with some finely dissolved carbonation and a sweet, chewy sticky caramel maltiness throughout. Dries only slightly with some bittering hops before the heavy finish. Seems to be laden with too much malt and not enough crisp hop character, which hurts its drinkability.

Deep copper red. Nose of wet cardboard and lawn clippings. Is this what broken rake means? Because it smells like a pile of wet leaves. Medium bodied, some slight skunkiness initially, which then turns mellow, and towards the end develops into a wet, sweet, maple syrup flavor, with cedar and honey on the tip of the tongue.
