12 oz. bottle from Wegmans, Niagara Falls. Pours a crystal clear amber color with a khaki head and good retention. Fair lacing. Sweet caramel malt aroma. Likewise, it has sweet caramel malt flavor too, but not too sweet. Not bitter. Very clean, smooth, and repeatable. Medium body. Medium-light carbonation. Nice example of the style. Not for hop heads.

From a bottle at the DC RB gathering October 15, 2017. It is a clear golden color with a slight head. The Aroma is of raisin and sour malt. The taste is a sweet malty flavor nothing noteworthy
