Draft at Richbrau. Clear copper. Nose, like the previous beer, seems off. Nutty caramel with a "twang". Two "bad" ones? Taste is starting to get ’twangy". Some fruit, earthy hops, malt and nuts. Light bodied with soft carbonation. The finish is not as bad. The "off-ness" seems gone (maybe this was only bad lines?). More fruit, soft malts, nutty flavors and earthy hops.

Draft at brewpub as part of the 6th Richmond Gathering. Medium amber, slight head. Very faintly malt accented aroma, perhaps caramel, hard to tell. Flavor was unfortunately a match, virtually non-existant. Touch of twang, this is probably going off. Not sure why they are still trying to serve this one.

Draft at brewpub. Part of a sampler. Copper color with low lacing. Aroma very weak, but what I could get was a bitter caramel. Taste was grainy and a bit tart (infected?) with brown sugar and toffee notes. Medium body, good carb.

22oz bottle-pours a thin dissipating light tan head and copper color. Aroma as mild medium malt-molasses, some spice. Taste is medium malt-molasses, some spice/earthy hops, some yeast. Mild/soft carbonation.

On tap at the brewpub. Clear ruby brown body with a small off-white head. Sweet grainy malt aroma. Sweet grainy malt flavor with some nuttiness. Medium carbonation with a fairly smooth but grainy finish.
