Draft, from notes. Clear deep amber color, medium white head. Aroma of lightly spiced biscuits. Taste is malt forward, lots of caramel and biscuit dough. Not sure where the buckwheat comes in.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours copper with a white head. Aroma is somewhat fruity. Med minus body. Flavor is odd non-barley flavor - but it works. lightly spicy. Mild hop. Pretty drinkable. Not excessively malty.

On tap at BAM Fest. Pours with a clear bronze hued body with a small, just off-white head. Aromas are nutty, maple, toasty and pretty clean otherwise. A touch earthy. Flavors are bitter and a bit more hoppy than I was expecting. Nutty, earthy, herbal. Lightly toasty. Lower carbonation and body.
