Poured into a pint glass, the appearance was a ruddy amber color with a sly transparency about it. Finger’s worth of white foamy head quickly dissipated. Left some stringy lace.
The aroma had some nuts, toast, brown sugar and a touch of caramel malts.
The flavor blended the prior noted aromas sweetly and then the toast and just a tad of roast. Semi-sweet malty aftertaste with a nutty finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt spot on.
Overall, nice amber ale worthy of coming back to if I could get it again.

On tap. Pours a clear mahogany with moderate head, aromas of nuts, sweet toasted malts and brown sugar. Flavors are same tough stronger. Metallic nutty finish.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a hazy copper / orange with a small white head. Aroma of copper-like malt and metallic notes. Flavour of metallic notes and dry English bready malts. Very bland, but dry and would be very drinkable if not for the metallic notes. Too much metallic / coppery flavour.

1L bottle. Spicy malt aroma, light honey , light aromatic hops. Mahagony colour, tanned head, big bubbles. Good malty base, light roast, slight honey sweetness and a proper hop balance. Falls a bit shy in the body department - lacks chewyness in the finish. Nevertheless quite enjoyable.

Hazy amber, lasting beige head. Lightly fruity carmel malt nose. Light sweet brown sugar profile, very light hop bitterness

Slightly hazy. More dark amber than copper but that’s splitting hairs - with a loose tan head this beer looks great. Very toasty aroma...vague chocolate/coffee dark malt stuff in there, too. And fuggleish hops, that horrid yoghurty-mossy note. Yeah. Lots of this same stuff - the toast, that same hop character - on the palate as well. That’s two things that I don’t like and they are predominant in this beer. I can’t fault the workmanship of the brew but ultimately success starts with concept. A good idea executed poorly doesn’t work and neither does this - a bad idea (combining two of beer’s laziest, most unappetizing flavour possibilities) done well.
