Medium to dark brown with lasting white head. Roast malt aroma. Full bodied malt taste, tangy bit there.

On tap at Elizabeth Station with Farees. Pours a clear amber with a white head. Aroma is roasted malt and caramel. Similar taste. Quite pleasant, but that European hoppy character that I don't very prefer... Not a my thing :-)

Draft - Toast and some woody, nutty notes. Dark Amber with a small white head. Dark caramel, toasty and a long sweet dark malt finish. More caramel than roast.

On tap at Elizabeth Station, pours a hazy dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma and flavour are each quite earthy, with bready malt and some toasted nuts. Clean and well-constructed. Solid.

Medium orange/brown. Sweet cherry, toasted nutty malt, light chocolate, some earth. Lightly sweet cherry and malt in the finish. Clean throughout. This is a fantastic beer.

Draft: Poured an orange brown with white head. Strong malt aroma. This one taste is super grainy and awesome. Very bold for such a low abv.

Draft pour at Holy Mountain, listed as 3%. 3% with a ton of flavor going on. Copper pour with a fading head. Toasted nut and caramel aroma. Roasted malt with a light beer feel. Very toasty. Wood character. Cherry notes throughout. Mild sweet malt linger. Gets better with every sip. Tasty.

Half pint at Bottleworks. Its not fair, how is this brewery able to make such a nice mild? Clear dark brown with a long lasting head that never fades. Aroma is dark woodsy malts, light diacetyl, lightly burnt brown malts (dark bread crust), no sugar and light malt sweetness. Body is soooo light yet a burst of flavor. Again, light diacetyl, black bread crust, watery buckwheat. Flavor fades, mellow carbonation. The diacetyl is perfect in this beer, the flavor is strong despite light body. This is what I want in my mild.
