September 2009 Beer of the Month Club , 10/25/09

Aroma: The nose is somewhat mild, but has some interesting components, some nuts, fruit, brown sugar, bread/biscuit.
Appearance: This one pours a nice hazy brownish color, minimal head, and just a really small amount of light, spotty lace.
Flavor: The taste is relatively similar to the smell, but without the fruitiness. It's basically nutty and biscuit malts, and fairly thin.
Palate: The body is a bit lighter then I was expecting, and the mouthfeel is fairly thin (disappointingly so) and a touch watery.
Overall Impression: While this isn't a bad beer, it certainly could have been better. Bad news for this one is I just polished off a really nice, complex beer previously. Anyway, I like that they attempted this style, as the Beer of the Month Club generally sends me less interesting styles. While we are here, the commercial description is missing, so I'll add that too.

**Just submitted a Photo for this one as well, as it was missing one.
