On tap 8/1/2011 Pours a deep reddish brown color with a thinnish off white head that dissipates quickly. Smells of earth and caramel. Gives off hints of prune and dark burnt sugar but is really kind of boring on the nose. Taste is malty with caramel toffee and barely enough hops to provide any balance. Slight astringent taste in there actually cuts through some of the sweetness, but hops would have been a better choice for that. Medium carbonation with a medium to thin body and a watery sweet mouthfeel. I didn’t enjoy this one much.
