On tap. Pours with a dark hazy brown body and a tan head. Aroma of caramel, dark fruit, estery, tobacco. Taste is caramel, grain, husky, dark fruit. Light bubbles, crisp finish.

Location: We have a bunch of these in the metro DC area, I think I've prob been to 3 of them, including the one in "Downtown Rockville" that I visit pretty often, I've had this one on tap there
Overall Impression: Another decent offering from GB, this is one of their seasonals, and it's got some hop distinction, but overall its a pretty average brew.

Caramel coloured body with a thinnish tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, nuts, light spices and a bit of hops - not really altish - but I’ll give it an amber. Medium-bodied; Strongish malt flavour with some toffee and caramel sweetness coming out, followed behind by alcohol and toasted malt. Aftertaste has a lot of nutty and caramel characteristics, but the overall finish is fairly light. Overall, I thought this wasn’t too alt-ish, but it wasn’t offensive in anyway. Regardless, this isn’t such a great beer, and like most of their beers, not necessarily worth trying. I sampled this half litre served from draught today on 26-March-2009 at the Washington [DC] location of the brewpub.
