Mahogany color, little head and lacing. Nose of light crystal malt and earthy tart hops. The flavor is light and chewy. Finishes malty, no character or life.

Mar 14, 2006 Pours to a deep glowing mahogany body with a thin dense white head and excellent lacing. The flavor is a weak base malt, light vienna malt, bitter stemmy hops. The aroma is a vacuous nothingness. The palate is medium-light bodied, lingering with metallic overtones.

Jan 12, 2005 (22 oz bottle, purchased at the brewery) I am continually impressed with this underrated and underappreciated brewpub. This is one of the most intensely toasty beers I’ve ever tasted or smelled, and it just jumps right out and grabs you. Malty, mildly sweet and mildly bitter, this beer is all about the toasty maltiness. A moderate roasty flavor comes out in the finish. The nose is so toasty, it’s starting to smell like freshly ground coffee. Medium in body, and somewhat dry, with a nice round mouthfeel. Dark amber in color. Off-white head is pretty tiny, quickly subsiding to a thin film and small rim around the glass, but a moderate amount of patchy lacing is left on the glass. From the bottle, this is an excellent amber, wonderfully delicious. Not sure about on tap.

Apr 25, 2004 THis amber ale pours with a clear amber body topped by a thick head with lots of lacing left on the glass. The aroma is sweet and malty with slight notes of caramel and an odd bitterness. The flavor is slightly sweet, slightly bitter and malty with a touch of caramel and an odd bready note. Medium bodied, relatively smooth and dry.
