Pours a deep brown color with little-to-no head. Aroma is slightly nutty. Flavor is hoppy and lemony. Good beer... I enjoyed it over a pizza at Mellow Mushroom in Panama City Beach, FL. On tap.

Poured a dark brown from a bottle. An aroma of peanuts came through. It had a well-balanced taste between the malts and hops with a strong nuttiness standing out.

Appearance is a clear amber with a thick off-white head. Nose is sweet with roasted caramel, though pretty weak. Taste is sweet with caramel, finish is dry with some metal. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with light carbonation.

Tap @ the tour. Poured a clear dark brown with an off-white head. Sweet malty caramel aroma. Hints of chocolate and mild earthy hop. The malty flavor also full of caramel with some chocolate and nuts. Medium body.

Not too shaby for a brown. A little nuttiness, but it could use some more. The maltyness is just about right. Pretty easy drinker.

Sampled @ GDBTF. Almost nonexistent on the palate after donkey punch; mild nuttiness, wafer thin palate, some brown sugar sweetness and leafy, grassy hops in the finish. Distinctly underwhelming.
