Pours clear amber-gold with an off-white head. Malty aroma. Taste is malt, caramel, bread, floral notes. Sweet finish. Okay.

Pour is a dark clear copper with a large bone white head. Aroma is malty but also tootsie roll sweet. Flavor is again malty but also way sweet. Some dark fruit hit on the back end. A bit too sweet for my liking.

Pours amber orange and smells of caramel and bready malt. The flavor is malty sweet with lightly toasted caramel and bready malt. Medium bodied. Pretty good.

Pours orange tinged dark gold into a stein. White head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Molasses and brown bread aromas. Thick with sweet golden syrup and lightly toasted brown bread upfront turning to slightly watery, earthy multigrain in the medium length finish.
