Deep hazy red coloured body with a muddied brown glow and a thinnish, two centimetre tall tan head. Medium-bodied; Strong malt flavours with caramel, a touch of raisins and a dose of toast with a very small hop presence near the end. Aftertaste shows mostly of toasted malt, some caramel and pit fruit flavours, all ending with a little sweetness from caramel, but no hops or anything like that. Overall, fairly mundane, but had decent flavours - nothing bad or assertive, just mild throughout. I sampled this sixteen ounce pour on draught at Deadrise Pies in Cape Charles, Virginia on 02-July-2017 for US$6,00.

Tap. Pours crystal clear reddish amber, small beige head, some lacing. Aroma is fairly metallic, grassy, caramel. Flavor is light sweet, light plus bitter, pretty bland. Medium body, a touch of acid.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured an orange-caramel color with a small foamy tan head that faded and left minimal lacing. The aroma was vegetal, sweetish and had a bit of tropical fruit. The flavor was bitter and vegetal with toffee, tropical fruit and an astringent presence. Medium length finish. Medium body and a bit undercarbonated. Meh.

12oz bottle pours a clear, copper amber with a thin topping of white head. Aroma is fine, some stone fruit, a little lemon, some malt, a bit of caramelized sugar, proofing dough. Flavor is malt, cracker, some carrot, unripened plum, mild orange. Clean finish. Perfectly standard.

12oz bottle, picked up from Grape and Gourmet. Poured a mostly amber color with a small off-white head. Aroma was earthy malts, some light hops. Flavor was a bit subdued, earthy notes pretty much top to bottom with this one. Drinkable, but not as enjoyable as I had hoped.

Sampled on draft at the brewery on 7/15/11. Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a large creamy tan head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of earthy malts and earthy hops. The taste is nutty and malty with a bitter hop finish. Medium bodied.

Malty aroma with a bit of mold and brown sugar. Auburn, with a medium yellow head, decent lacing. Tastes like it smells, with a trace of DMS.

Draft at the Taphouse in Ghent. Clear, deep golden color, thick off white head. Aroma of caramel. Taste is caramel with a slightly bitter finish. Good to see a brewery back in Norfolk.
