Bottle courtesy of aplusbreaks. Pours brown wih a tan head. Smells of sweet malt. Tastes of sweet malt, chocolate, some earthy hints.

Head is initially small, fizzy, light brown, mostly diminishing. Body is dark brown. Aroma is moderately malty (caramel, roasted grain, nuts), trace hops (flowers). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter, lightly acidic. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Very light and watery, simple.

4 oz sampler at the brewpub, 4/15/06: Silky. Dark. Sticky. Sweet, but not over the top for a "honey" beer. Gotta give it to ’em ... good.

Bottle poured a clear dark reddish brown with a small lingering tan head. Aromas of chocolate, carmel, nuts and a hint of toffee. Palate was light bodied and smooth. Flavors of milk chocolate, carmel and nuts with a smooth semi-sweet finish.

Tap. Pours a clear milk chocolate in color with a tan creamy head. Chocolate and caramel malt aroma with a hop nose. Honey and sweet caramel malt flavor with chocolate mixed throughout. Light to medium bodied creamy palate.

Vibrant, deep red color with a foamy head; left behind nice lace patterns. Carbonation is a little high, making the tasty malts seem thinner than they are. Honey probably contributes a little sweetness, and maybe some alcohol. I like how the honey addition is very subtle though, far in the background. Decent amount of hops round it out. Sweet malt flavors.
