A dark amber almost brown appearance. Some caramel and nutmeg in the aroma department. The flavor is quite sweet for an amber with some toffee, caramel, and nutmeg. The aftertaste was sweet/sour. This was more like a brown ale to me. Overall it was ok.

Thin off-white head with moderate retention. Reddish amber body is translucent. the nose is mostly of caramel, with lesser additions of toffee and light smokey grains. Simple but nice. Raw honey notes and sugars also remain in the finished product. The flavor is hopped on a medium level, with corresponding astringency and medium sweetness. The finish is lightly tart and peppery, hoppiness lingering very briefly. Subpar but interesting enough to make it worthwhile.

Pours a clear copper amber with a thin ring of off-white head. Aroma of lightly sweet caramel malt with some earthy spices and a touch of tartness. Body is fairly full with an earthy mild tart balance toward a drier finish. An ok amber ale.

Earthy with mild caramel and malt notes coming through. Similar to an ESB, but not as hoppy.
