Draught at the brewery. Lightly cloudy, amber colored. AROMA- plums, red plums, apple, spicy, plum pie, honey. FLAVOR- slightly sweet, pleasantly bitter, butterscotch, plum pie, earthy tones. Medium to fuller bodied.
Tasty.

Tap at the brewpub. Misty dark amber-red body with a lasting off white head. The beer fails at the first hurdle, really, with a huge blast of diacetyl (butter) striking in the aroma and striking hard, cleaning up somewhat as time passed, letting some hoppy fruitiness to climb out. Fruity-hoppy notes in the taste, sweetish body countered by a simplistic herbal bitterness. Czech white bread crust maltiness shows up for a brief second and so does caramel and vague bubblegum. Turns out to be drinkable, but, even if we disregard the flaw - which is diacetyl, and in spite of some interesting notes, this seems to be in essence another mainly Czech malt-driven failed attempt at an IPA.
