Bottled. Pours with a very dark bronze hue and a small off white head. The aroma is sweet and similar to brown sugar. Sweet malty flavour with toffee notes and some bitterness in the finish. A pleasant ale.

Poured 12 oz bottle into a mug. Your average amber ale that quenches your thirst. Decent with a nice lasting aftertaste that makes you want to drink more.

Bottle-Look at the description- "A lightly darker beer." Well done. It’s not as lightly dark as one might hope for , but it is a transparent aururn/copper, pouring a one finger beige cap. Minute lacing. Buttery/caramel muted malts in the aroma, cookie dough and some fresh fruit (apple). Fairly malt forward flavour leads to sweet raisin bread and caramel, fading into a mild hop/butter finish. Farily standard brew, this one.

Toasty copper color; the dense eggshell head starts at the two-finger level and takes many minutes to recede to half its original height. Crennelated rings of lace adhere as if glued onto the glass. Mild toffee and dark breadcrust aromas with nuances of caramel, bubblegum wrapper, fresh-sawn white pine, and ironlike hops. Sweetish, toasty flavor finishes fruity and with a charred sugar edge. Cedary. Medium body boasts a silken, buttery texture. Clean and "tingly" aftertaste. Not in the West coast style, but a balanced well-crafted brew nonetheless.

Golden colour with beige head. Adjuncts in the aroma. Light malt and hops.... eh..

Nice honey flavor that lasts at least a little, a bit of tartness, maybe some brittle piney notes, slight bitterness at the finish.

Pours dark orange witha medium sized light tan head. Aroma of sticky alefruits, phenols, a bit medicinal with carboard caramel. Taste is a bit bland and buttery. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and slightly sticky with foamy carbonation.

Amber and clear with ample carbonation and a white, frothy head. Smells of butterscotch and shortbread. Light, slick, and acidic with light malt and hop prescence.
