Wicked biscuit and caramel sweet malt aroma! The hops are very present and the mix do well with the sweet malts. Great sweet finish and a touch of bitterness. Really a wicked beer I could drink this all day. Amazingly well balanced and very easy drinking.

Bottle random grab. Reddish amber and small head. Nose is grapefruit and malt. Tastes of honey, grapefruit, malt, hint of molasses and berry. Smooth. Not sure age on this bottle.

Bottle from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clear golden amber with a finger of off-white head that lingers. Malt-forward nose with toasted caramel and bread standing out. Some peppery, piney hop notes come out as it warms. Some rooibos tea notes on the palate, drying finish.
