Can pour from Friar Tuck, Crestwood. It’s a lightly hazy brown with nice sparkle finger width off white foamy head with poor retention and spotty lacing. Aroma is strong raisin, date and caramel. Taste is strong caramel, raisin and date with late brown bread. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with smooth texture soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, good strength and complexity for the style. Enjoyable.

Pour is a redish brown with a small tan head. Aroma is a brown sugar and caramel malt. Flavor is a rosted nut with some caramel and brown sugar. No alcohol is too be found. If you have had a Weston beer and hated it, give this one a try. Plently flavorful for a bock.

Fresh 22oz bottle ($4) poured into an oversized wine glass. Pretty looking beer, dark brown but allowing for clarity. Nice thick head that lingers. The beer is clean, malty, slight sweet, very drinkable. A bit of earthiness and bitterness at the very end. Nice full mouthfeel, nicely felt on the cheeks. The malty and slight toasty sweetness is not sugariness and the beer is clean and well attenuate. What else can you want from this type of beer? For a more detailed rating Indra provides a great description and I agree with everything except I do not get any of the esters (bubblegum) that he mentions and I think I enjoy it more.
