Bottle. Brown with a thin coat of beige head. Aroma of dark bread and chocolate, some modest hints of oranges, grapefruit, earth and nectarines. Medium bodied, appropriate carbonation on the low side of moderate. Tastes very much as it smells. Not all that sweet but fat malt, moderate hop accents and bitterness. A solid, drinkable and nicely balanced beer.
