Pours from bottle in the way that they do. Pretty malt forward. I liked it. Sometimes one just needs malts.

Not sure why this isn't a brewery, because it's made seriously right over my right shoulder. right there. Mama like.

Bottle from Nate.
Poured into a snifter, the appearance was a burnt bronzed copper color with a thin wisp of a little white semi-foamy head. Quietly dissipated and left some concave sliding lace.
The aroma had some sweet caramel/toffee malts, sweet rye, subtle pine/resin, crisp citrus pulp and a touch of earthiness at the end.
The flavor leaned towards the sweet side but made a good effort to try and bring the earthy hops in to blend. Nice aftertaste of the blend. Finish was mainly sweet.
The palate was about medium bodied with a good sipping quality about it. Carbonation was there, seemed perhaps just shy of where it was supposed to be. ABV felt fine.
Overall, I think this is an aged bottle, but I don’t see any dates, only reason why I proceeded was because it seemed like everything turned out pretty good. Slightly makes me wonder what this is like fresh.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a nice amber and almost ruby glow, all with a perfect, two centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of rich caramel malt, a touch of toasted grain, some subdued nuts and earth and a very mild hop note evident. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong toasted grain and light caramel malt flavour at first with some nice sweetness on the light side along with a very mild hoppy flavour that shows some grass and dry herbs. Aftertaste is fairly mild with the malt by far the strongest and finishing with some caramel sweetness. Overall, a nice light beer with a good caramel flavour, but nothing too exciting here nor worth searching out. I sampled this thirty-two ounce growler fill from The Perfect Pour in Columbia, Maryland yesterday on 24-February-2016 for US$8,99 sampled at home in Washington on 25-February-2016.

Draft sample at Dominion Wine & Beer. Golden orange with beige head. Aromas of caramel, malt, citrus, floral notes. Tastes of floral, malt, citrus. Medium body with a dry finish. Drinks more like an IPA to me.
