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.

Jun 15, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clearish, dark reddish body with a thin, wispy, off-white head.
Smell: Weak nose smelling of hints of fruit, caramel malt, and a pinch of grains.
Taste: Slight caramel malts though very little sweetness. Faintest hint of grain. No more than a touch of bitterness. Dry, yawn-inducing finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation. A bit watery, I must say.
Drinkability: Rather uninteresting and an average amber, at best.

Dec 17, 2007 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.
