Draft. Nice malty beer. being a malt lover I really liked this beer. Aroma slightly like dark toast, but not burned. Flavor was that mild malt flavor thats not strong like dark beers but still good and tasty. Apperance was a light amber color. Pretty good stuff.

An amber ale with a thin white head. In aroma, caramel and boiled veggies. In mouth, a nutty super sweet malt, with boiled veggies, plain bad. On tap at Calhoun’s on the River, Oct. 22 2011.

Bottle: Dark copper color with a fizzy beige head. Dry aroma of florals, earthy, and rye. Tastes mostly sweet and malty up front with a lingering florals trailer. Not real cohesive.
