Bottle solo domed most of it. Pours a dirty amber color, thin off white head. Little or mild nose. Light caramel and light fruit. Flavor is caramel malt, toffee, weak bitterness in the finish. I was hoping for just a bit more flavor than the Caramel/ toffee. I don’t get chocolate (wish I did)
Higher carbonation in a near medium body. Not bad, seems like it was brewed for the masses. Kind of ordinary, nothing here to give it any jazz.

On tap at Vermont Tap House.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a glossy semi-transparent amber/copper color. Bar pour’s kind of slim white head slides quickly into the beer.
The aroma breathes in a very nice balance of roasted nuts to sweet caramel/toffee malts, very clean and smooth.
The flavor is pretty much the same with that nice balance of roast to sweet nuts and malts smoothly running into each other and sliding into the aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionable quality about it. Nice carbonation.
Overall, well done amber ale that I would love to have again.
