flat out THIS IS GOOD BEER!. It tastes the way a good ale should. There is nothing pretentious or fancy about it. When i imagine my great grandfather drinking beer, i imagine he drank something like this. (lucky) Nice color, nice natural head. great blend of sweetness and a slightly bitter hoppiness at the end.

Creamy mouthful with a little sizzle. Mellow flavor of roast, vanilla, slight caramel and creamy chocolates. Finishes dry. Sweetens up a bit as it warms. Drinks quickly, Fantastic!

Jun 2, 2008 Pours a very dark brown, nearly black. Thick tan head. Aroma is roasted malt with some sweet fruity notes. Flavor start with a nice creamy dark malt. Little bit of a crispness in the finish that doesn’t linger too long. Medium bodied. Very easy to drink and surprisingly refreshing.
