Nov 1, 2007 On tap at the Schooner’s Brewery/Restaurant in Antioch. It pours a striking clear amber with lasting off white head and spotty lacing. Nice aroma of nuttiness, roasted malts and mild caramelization. It has a somewhat creamy mouth feel which ushers in the roasted and nutty notes noted in the nose. Midway mild malt caramelization shows up with slight astringency into the finish. It ends thin and dry.

May 25, 2008 On tap at the Sac Brewfest. Pours beautiful deep amber with a thin oatmeal colored head. The aroma is a bit subdued with malty sweetness poking through. The flavor is that, plus a smooth, smokiness that ends cleanly.
